I cannot recall the precise details just now but there was a case perhaps last year? Where people were having their phones stolen from gym lockers. Somehow those phones were being used to make financial transactions.
Or switch the phone off, before putting it in your locker. Though they could just steal your SIM, and put it in another phone. So make sure you have set a SIM PIN.

Change your phone settings so that SMS contents are not shown when the screen is locked.
