Not an option. File the police report -- you'll need the case number when dealing with your new creditors when and if your identity is used.
I went through this last year. We had a workman in our home doing odd jobs. My old military ID and other service-related mementos were framed and hanging in our home. The military ID has my SSN on it.
Today that framed collection is in the closet, everything that's personal and thrown away is shredded and our mailbox locks. Scumbags are everywhere.
Sorry to read you're dealing with this.
