Wouldn't that be obvious to the victim the moment their phone didn't work? Or will the carrier leave the old SIM activated?

IIRC, in the US, sometimes just give the old sim some random phone number (to keep you paying the bill) and don't cancel the line. In the EU, I'm pretty sure they cancel the old line.
