Inactive devices in our tenant are deleted after 6 months,

If we have a device that was lost or stolen. What is the best way to approach this scenario on laptops, ios devices, and android devices?

Goal is to make the device unusable by whoever has it, like lock it on the user enrollment screen until a valid azure admin account is used to (re)enroll.

For Android devices, you'll also want to take a look at the available device actions. Depending on the scenario, actions such as Delete, Remote Lock, Retire, and Wipe may be appropriate.
