Android 15 allows you to find your phone even if it's powered off and offline, but does it really work as advertised? I did some tests to find out.

      If they are professional and not someone looking for a quick buck, and professionals probably wouldn’t steal a random person’s phone

        Bag that effectively blocks any kind of radio signals such that they kill communications with any device you put in them.

        Bag with foil or mesh lining that turns it in to a faraday cage.
        Amazon and other similar marketplaces have them.
