Back in the early 70's we lived in Austin, TX. A friend of a friend, a teen, had his motorcycle stolen. He found out who had it, another teen. The owner of the MC called the Austin PD, they came to the home where the MC was, saw who had it and decided to do nothing. The teen who had the stolen motorcycle was the son of a man who was prominent in Liberal politics, so his son could keep the stolen motorcycle. The owner got to keep the monthly payments for the motorcycle.
That's Austin back in the day and probably no different today. If the owner of the motorcycle had made a big deal out of it, the Austin PD would have dealt with him harshly.
We loved Austin in many ways, but the banana republic city government and PD were not things to love. The mean spirited, judgmental, intolerant, silly, frivolous and stupid culture really degraded the Austin life experience. That said, it was a good place for bicycling, motorcycling and sailing.
Just because you find your stuff and the thief doesn't mean you get it back.
