It sounds more like lack of law enforcement is the problem. In any sane society, law enforcement would have to authority to rain down like holy hell on people like this.
If someone breaks into my home and steals my stuff, I may hope for law enforcement to catch those responsible. I have no expectation that my property would be returned to me.
Thinking through this analogy, property-theft insurance is affordable because law enforcement is effective where I live, and I am expected to maintain reasonable precautions against theft.
I don't know how to prevent my phone number from being used without my permission. So I don't know how to apply law enforcement as a remedy.
Dream on. In most US jurisdictions, property crime is very low priority for law enforcement. Even if you have cameras recording the thieves in action, LE might create a report but they will probably not investigate the crime at more than a superficial level.
