How much is justice worth to you? I think it would be worth it for the police to have squads of people dedicated to this when we spend so much on things like EOD techs, armored cars and SWAT teams in America. Phone thievery should be a risky business to associate with.
Also, the police absolutely have no business caring if something is valuable, their work all pays the same. What you are suggesting is not justice at all, and justice is at the very core of American values.
In your dad’s story, suppose he had a receipt with a serial number, which is fairly common these days. The police absolutely should have done something. The fact that you see activation locked phones on eBay is honestly disgusting, stealing a smartphone should be treated as a special case of grand theft like stolen cars! A $300 asset loss is a big hit for a lot of people, and the impact it has on the victim’s life beyond the monetary loss is substantial and usually lasting(loss of photos, contacts, communication, banking)
Try getting your phone stolen when you just started a vacation or lost a job(or both at the same time like me).
