More Passcode Lock Options

Question

although i like the idea of having a passcode on my phone, i don't want to have to enter it 40 or 50 times a day, every time i pick up my phone. so i wish there were additional options, such as: "Passcode required twice a day," "...4 times a day" or "once per hour."
this way, in the event the phone were stolen, although it might work for a short time (which doesn't bother me), the code soon would be required and would no longer be usable. (also, the code would always be required to reset the phone. this way, a thief could not reset the phone during that initial period in which the phone is accessible without a passcode.)
again, this would be optional. the current options would remain unchanged, providing various options for each user's needs.

It is a pretty good idea, but think about this: you leave your phone in a gym locker room or something, a thief picks it up, turns it on, and realizes that it can't be used without a passcode every time, then he puts it back, and walks away. Or have it so he picks it up, turns it on, walks away, so then its gone, then he later finds out but will not put it back, will probably just break it or sell it or something. Your idea is understandable, just passcode once a day or so, but I'm just pointing out the few possible downsides, you should definately recommend it though.
