I would have it instead check http://mywebsite.com/theft.txt and

You may want to do the opposite. Your phone may think it's being
stolen
if you happen to get on something like a wireless connection with
NoCatSplash. (Which hijacks the first attempt to grab a web page in
order to show you a welcome page.)
Oooh, I see.
(It took me a couple of tries, thinking about it - I'm glad I got it
without sending those replies ;)
I'd be tempted to have PGP signed stolen/not stolen pages to alleviate
any ambiguity. Failure to retrieve either would just be ignored.
This is probably the best way, although it probably places the bar
beyond my programming skills.
