As one anecdotal point (and I’ve referenced it here before) but my iPhone was once stolen. I tracked it with Find My and, once located, called the sheriffs department of the jurisdiction.
Based on what they told me they sent two deputies to the house and politely (yet firmly) “requested” the phone back. It actually went exactly the way you would expect - we have probable cause to search the entire house for grand theft. Just give it back.
I went to the Sherrifs department an hour later and picked it up.
Good use of resources? Probably not. Faith in public servants for me? Absolutely. Hopefully a scary lesson learned for an offender or two on a path of criminality? I hope so.
