Depending on how old the phone is, this is less of an issue than you or others here think it is. Starting a few years ago, android at least can't simply be wiped and set back up from scratch. Manufacturers/Android did this in response to the increase in phone thefts. Iirc, this had a significant impact on the number of phones being stolen as an opportunity theft. If someone targets you, that's a different story.
As others have said. Make sure encryption is turned on and that it's setup with a pin. If you really are concerned then make sure the time out to lock is set to as low as possible and never have it unlocked if it's not in your hands.
It's a Samsung A34, so not old at all. Thank you for your response!
