I wonder if you could work that in to it also, The finger print scanner on the phone or face id, If the purp touched the finger print scanner or face id were used by the scumbag,or attempted to be used, It triggered something in the background that started a silent alarm which alerted you as well.

Guess I'm hoping by screaming the word "Hey Siri: Stop Thief" the perp will notice and hear the loud pitch notification sound and constant vibration emitting from the iPhone. This will cause him too hopefully drop the phone. You'll be able to locate it of course by tracking the sound. Turning the finger print sensor off and setting the screen brightness to 0 will essentially make the phone unusable to the thief. The goal with this Shortcut is too have Siri trigger a loud enough sound or annoying vibration forcing the thief to think twice and drop your iPhone while running. Since most savvy owners of an iPhone have a good case on it, it shouldn't get damaged. I mean if you have a creative enough mind, their our many ways you can utilize the power of Shortcuts and Siri too protect you and the iPhone with just a few trigger words.
