iPhones have very strong security. The thief cannot unlock the phone unless he / she knows the Apple ID and Password of the person who originally set up the phone.


That is why you might see an email or message from "Apple" or "Apple Support" or the "Police" that tells you that the phone has been found, but the support group just needs a bit more information to return the phone to you. This is a SCAM that is trying to trick you into revealing your Apple ID and Password so the phone can be unlocked and sold.
