That's not really how criminal justice works. If someone murders you, no money is lost. They aren't trying to figure out who killed you so they'll pay what you would have paid in taxes. They investigate and prosecute murders to discourage murder.

The same is mostly true for every crime. If you steal something of value and the insurance company gets reimbursed, that's just a bonus.
