Or shut down when any USB device is attached while the phone is locked/inactive?

It'd work like this: Unlock phone, plug in USB widget; it works.

Or: Plug in USB widget without first unlocking phone; phone shuts down.

That's a great option.

I just wonder whether that could be too annoying for Android Auto / Car Play. But to be fair wireless is an option.

The other downside I guess is that a thief would just plug a USB drive in to disable device tracking. But they could just wrap the damn thing in foil so dunno if that should matter.
