I don't think so. It's more of a security feature so they don't get access to your personal information but they usually remove the battery. This happened to my friend, as he was tracking it, they turned it off and then wiped the phone so we couldn't track it anymore
Please note that you can only be able to retrieve your Samsung Notes if you had backed up your data on the Samsung Account. You can visit the Samsung Account on the link below:
