I’m running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I’m a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

    Yeah. It was clearly good will. Even the banking, they probably didn’t realize the app was banking (foreign bank). Signal was Molly, so they honestly were personally confused since I run KISS Launcher.

    The problem is that they used my phone to call my contacts.

      This is what I think would happen if someone stole my laptop. Even if they got my password, they would need to figure out how to start sway, and then launch any useful application. I know there’s no security in obscurity, but I think it would be pretty funny to see someone try

      It’s also possible somebody grabbed all the data off it, tossed it, and later the nice person found it and returned it.
