There isn't really a point to that. The very first thing thieves do is turn off the phone so you can't track it. They'll then usually format your phone and sell it. Best you can do is set up a secure password and not show any info on the lock screen so they at least wouldn't be able to access your stuff.
Samsung devices require the unlock pattern/code to be shut down.
and thiefs will just throw it into a faraday cage to block the signal immediately.
