Hello Teresa, I am so sorry someone stole your property. That sounds absolutely horrible.
A couple of weeks ago, when carrying some groceries into the house, I left my iPhone 6 Plus in the front seat of a friend's car who was waiting for me to return to the car so we could continue running errands. Upon entering the house, I realized that I had left my phone in the car. Prior to Touch-ID/Pass Code, this would have caused me great concern as, while not exactly a snoop, my friend might have let her curiosity get the better of her and, quote, glanced, quote, at my phone (smile). When I returned to the car, she handed me the phone saying, "I did not try to look at it." To which I responded, "Really? You mean you weren't tempted?" To which she replied, "What's the point, you've got it on lock down." We both laughed at that. In addition to VoiceOver, I use the display a great deal but, when in waiting rooms, standing in line, sitting in close proximity to others, say in the front seat of a car, I turn on the screen curtain. Using the Screen Curtain brings me great comfort, to put it mildly. Say what you will about Apple but when they do it right, they do it better than anyone.

About a month after I set it up, I was sitting reading something, and noticed my Braille display suddenly lost access to the text. I had put the iPod next to my display on the table, and one of the volunteers at the Blind Center I had gone to had simply literally lifted it. Before I could croak out a stunned "Hey!" it was long gone. I created a police report, but never saw it again. I had to buy another one. This time it doesn't leave my purse in public, unless it absolutely has to. I've also set up two-step verification and the same passcode settings.
