Can someone tell me how to disable or unassociate the buttons funtion for force shutdown (pressing power button and volume button simultaneously) resulting force shutdown without asking the unlock the device. The reason why I asked is because -- in the event that the phone is stolen, the bad guy could turn it off right away.. It might be too late for me to hard lock and manage my phone's data and locations through "Find My Mobile" since the bad guy has already turned my phone off. In case if it is not able to shutdown chances of getting/finding my device would be better.

The thief can just take out the sim if he's unable to shut down the phone

It is not possible to do that. It is an emergency feature for when your device hangs or stops responding. And it doesn't force shut down the device, it force restarts it.
