I think that's why people password lock their devices. That way they can't get to the settings area to turn location services off.

Obviously a passcode or a password will prevent someone from getting in to turn it (location services) off.

The best way I have found is to set a password in Settings > General > Restrictions. Over here, you must disable that any changes can be made to Contacts.

Screen lock will give another added layer of protrecton.

Location services, yes. The device? No. You can turn off an iPhone that uses passcode or password without it. Takes about 10 seconds. Has the same effect as turning location services off.

Sent TC an email about this but never got a response.

it won't matter. if they find your device and it has a lock code they can simply turn the device off and you won't be able to locate it via find my iphone.
