I moved from Round Rock to San Antonio. The cops here (at least the ones I have dealt with) are lazy. I had my aircraft gps stolen from my motor vehicle. I filled a report and was given a case #. I found the gps on craigslist a month later. Contacted the PD and they said to call back on Monday since they don't handle property crime cases on the weekend. Knowing full well it would be gone by then, I scheduled a meet up at HEB to buy the gps. The odds looked good so I confronted the three crooks and reclaimed my gps. I gave the cops everything that night. License plates on two vehicles, names of all three plus physical descriptions, and even their cell numbers. These guys were pros, one stalked/interviewed me for 30 minutes before calling in the other two which then brought the gps. They had numerous ads on CL with other property like ipods and cell phones. The cops could of taken out or at least looked at a crime ring in my neighborhood. Want to know what happened? NOTHING! Sorry to hijack your story but my point is nobody is going to look out for your stuff but you. Put it away or do a better job protecting it. I got lucky and got my stuff back.
