Because they don't care is correct. These crimes are actually trivial to solve. The devices are tracked, there is a clear money trail, people are doing this routinely as a business.
As you said people routinely track their stolen property and nothing is done about it.
They don't care because it's "petty" crime. And they will "get to it after they solve all the murders."
- tomatocracy 1y agoYes. The police have the ability to find and arrest the perpetrators pretty quickly, if they prioritise it. There was a phone theft which (unusually) turned into a stabbing/slashing a couple of years ago when the victim fought back. Perpetrators escaped on bikes before police arrived, but were arrested only 3 or 4 days later. https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/news/city-of-london/news/2022/october/arrest-in-connection-with-bishopsgate-attempted-robbery-and-knife-attack/ https://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/news/city-of-london/news/...
