When something is stolen, someone has broken that trust. It warrants a search, in my opinion. If it's company-wide, not just specific people, it's relatively anonymous and not targeted so it shouldn't be personal to the employees.
is the morale of 60 employees worth $500?

yes. Someone may have stolen the phone but searching everyone implies that no employees can be trusted.

In order to search private lockers (even within the company's ownership), there needs to be consent by the locker users/owners. There have been many court rulings in this very matter. In this case, the company was in the wrong. Likewise, schools cannot automatically search through lockers and private things without consent, even though the lockers belong to the schools. Again, there have been court rulings in that matter too.
P.S. Those 2 employees will surely lose their jobs; maybe not instantly but in the near future.
The only reason a company needs is: downsizing or "you're no longer needed in this position".
