IANAL but similarly if someone steals your bicycle/car/camera while you’re not using it and then brings it back in pristine condition, what damages would you claim?

It’s more like “this is my property, I make it available to public under some conditions, this guy violates that condition”.

That said, the reality is that property owners and adjacent people often benefits from property being featured in a viral video. Unless US adopts similar restrictions as South Korea on photographing strangers, I guess these cases will keep happening.

But that's ... a crime. Generally you can't sue for damages after a crime unless you can claim damages.
