I believe, but am unsure, that the touch ID as well as a passcode can be overwritten by connecting to iTunes and resetting the phone. It does seem that Find My iPhone must make this more difficult, otherwise why would Apple require someone to disable FMi on their iPhone when Apple has to provide service. She did not have a passcode set but I locked the perps out from using the phone. But they can still reset the phone and likely manage to unlock it from whatever AT&T does to keep us from using it with another carrier.
