Seems like most cops could not care less about minor property crimes - your guys jumped right on it.
It's a matter of resources vs crime against people vs crimes against property. Getting fingerprints is of no immediate help if the crooks don't have any on file. And in many cases, there is no CSI magic that will yield MATCH FOUND. The cops just hope to match the prints against someone they catch. Which doesn't happen often in these kinds of cases unless the cops catch a break.
Enter Find My iPhone. There have been a *lot* of these recoveries nationwide, and most cops want to catch bad guys. Knowing where the crooks are goes a long way to motivating police in a case where there are no witnesses, no clues, and virtually no chance of every catching them
Book 'em, Dan-o.
