To add to sister comments, solving a burglary is rarely tracking the thieves down in their agit and getting back the goods Hollywood style.
What people expect:
- triggering an alarm so the theives don't spend the night looking at every nook and cranny of the house
- having proof that it was burglars and not the drunk neighboor forcing his way to the wrong house (if so, you'd also want proof of that though)
- get the cops and insurance to be on board and have the incident processed swiftly. "solving" here basically means getting the insurance monney to buy the missing stuff.

Yet a friend's house was actually burgled, they took an ipad which tracked itself to two addresses in a nearby suburb and the police said "sorry, we won't check that out, you should have had cameras". I have a feeling the police prefer to solve crimes by talking to people and browbeating them into revealing things rather than using technology, so I was surprised they recommended cameras.
