Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand

What could possibly go wrong...

What are you aiming it? If it’s a false alarm, just unlock your phone again.

also don't see how you could trigger it assuming it expects a very specific movement pattern that includes a sudden movement.
maybe by dropping your phone but that doesn't happen that often and having to unlock your phone again is the least of your concerns in that case
