a street thug usually has the IQ of a pigeon
True
However, the thug may be simply expected to keep the phone logged in, if possible, as he takes it to a colleague who CAN extract important information before scrubbing; loading in a virgin OS; and selling it
A duress wipe would not and could make it worse.
Sigh.....Very True
Maybe the best approach in a robbery-prone environment is to keep all important information in an encrypted database and keep that database in an encrypted cloud location (e.g. Proton Drive) using memorized passwords. Do your email - on line - via Vanadium incognito mode in an account dedicated to email (i.e. not your cloud database account.)
In general, use Vanadium incognito instead of apps whenever you can. Use and memorize short, complex passwords to access your mail and storage accounts. Keep long passwords (e.g. Banking) in the cloud vault and access them only when you are in a secure location.
If you need to access your phone continuously (e.g. walking while using a map application), use a smart watch to display the distances and turns.
NOTHING important on the phone (or watch).
