I'm running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I'm a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?

Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?

Fingerprint and pin code. They left the phone at a store nearby and I went to pick it up
