If you had a 6 digit passcode, and you also have Find My iPhone active, they are not going to be able to guess your passcode, and a brute force attack on a 6-digit code is going to take a very long time. If they try and restore the iPhone, if you have Find My iPhone activated, they will not be able to use it due to Activation Lock.
