This thread is also about "lost" phones - so this idea is still usefull.
Send and SMS "$ontimepad IWantToFindMyPhone" to your phone and your 
phone is rinning with the popup messige 
"this the phone of Robert Michel - I'm looking for it,
and know it's coordinates. Please - please speak with
me now to stop the alarm and wait for me..."

No crontab needed - when the SIM changed and the SIM is unknown then
the stolen modus is activated:
