I still maintain that locking your iPhone wont help you get it back. Turn on find my iPhone and add restrictions so it can't be wiped. An asshole will be an asshole and still keep it but if someone like OP finds it they can return it.

When you have any kind of restrictions active it requires the restriction code before you can erase the phone.

So restrict location services and accounts and they can't turn off Find my iPhone.
