I wonder if you can reach out to garmin? Seems like they should be able to track down an owner and/or locate a lost or stolen unit based upon registration of the device. I guess the question is: Would they?
They absolutely could identify a lost/stolen device that connected to their back-end. They won't without a subpoena.
that would give a user name, where they used the garmin, where it was when it connected, and probably an IP address ....
So when a subpoena is presented to a company to provide information, they are allowed to charge a reasonable amount for extraction and presentation.
Lawyers are involved, etc, so reasonable is relative. I'll check with some friends to see what their company charges.
Did you file the court case yet?

My SiriusXM tuner was stolen

Oh great, you can catch the guy that stole it when they activated.
SXM: Yes we will, thanks. (but they don't because that is another customer)
the only time they will tombstone a radio is by judicial decree (the police are trying to catch the thief)

This just in - Companies are not paid to supply data - if they have it, the court compels them to turn it over.
If the request is onerous, the company can argue that it not fulfill it, or negotiate to reduce the request to reasonable.
Also, it would take a court order to monitor for a device being connected. Unless you are the NSA.
Products or services that collect such data must plan for cost-of-compliance in their business case.
I have heard that companies, lets say Verizon, do charge for the data, usually it is per copy charge
