Wouldn't they just turn off the device for 72h?

  The 72h window should notify the owner and allow them to go in and flag the device as stolen. Once the device is stolen, it should essentially brick itself as soon as it connects to a network and reaches Apple's servers. The device could only be unbricked by bringing it to an Apple store and showing ID to prove ownership.

    In the paranoid scenario this turns the mugging into a hostage situation (unlikely, since that requires a much more complicated logistics)... Maybe Apple can also provide a duress password.
