Sure. I never meant for it to come across as exlusive. Returning stolen items is just never going to be much of a priority for the police. Unless maybe that stolen item was key to another investigation.

Honestly, I don't really think police should be in the business of tracking down stolen items unless finding the items leads them to the theives. So unless the theft of items is under some larger crime, why should cops be on the look out for a bicycle/car/tv/xbox/etc?

It's pretty much what insurance is for. Now, I'd much rather the police investigate the crimes committed by insurance companies on not paying out the claims. At least, that should be a crime.
