Thefts of unlocked smartphones are becoming increasingly common in Brazil. Criminals take advantage of unlocked devices to gain access to private data and financial apps, often gaining access to your bank account and stealing money.

The idea of Run, Thief! is to give users the ability to have their smartphone automatically locked when the connection to Bluetooth devices such as smartwatches, headsets, cars, etc. is lost during the criminal's escape. This gives users of Bluetooth devices an extra layer of security and prevents the victim from losing even more than the stolen device.

It is important to emphasize that Run Thief! does not guarantee that any Android phone model will be locked upon disconnection of any Bluetooth device. It is extremely important that users test how the app works in a safe place.

In addition, it is recommended that this app gets used as an ally to good security practices such as:
- Setting up a PIN on the SIM card
- Avoid using password recovery e-mails on the same device where financial apps are installed
- Use a PIN/password/pattern as a screen lock method
- Use features like safe folder
- Use remote lock and erase tools
