Activation Lock requires anyone who has your iPhone to enter your Apple ID and password before they can tamper with the "Find my iPhone" feature.

Besides the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, iOS 7 is compatible with the iPhone 5, the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 4, the iPad 4th and 3rd generation, the iPad 2, the iPad Mini, and the fifth-generation iPod Touch.
