New SIM card in stolen device

My iPhone is stolen 10 days back. The burglar has most possibly discarded my SIM card. Will he/she be able to activate a new SIM card in my device?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

If my iPhone gets stolen, can my SIM card be replaced with their own SIM card and use it? I have an iPhone 13 Pro with a Verizon SIM card. If someone steals my phone, can they just replace the SIM card with their own SIM card and use the phone as if it were their own? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

If you have an activation lock and a passcode lock on the phone, no one will be able to use it.
