Dont really think with a tracking device the cops would really give a chit, if there is no money to confiscate or headlines be made from an arrest there not rally interested.
recently my wife's best friend had her cell phone stolen out of her purse while at walmart, here is how much the cops cared.
while she was looking at cereal with here little girl (3 year old ) in the cart, she turns around and:
mom: gonna call your dad and see what cereal he wants
3yr old: your phone is not in your purse mom
mom: where is it ( while looking in her purse)
3yr old: a man took it ( she told here mom as she starts crying)
she contacts security at walmart and the check the video cameras and sure enough the have it on tape, caught red handed, they call the cops,
cops show up and say there nothing they can do, she ask use the computer and log in to her gps on the computer and it shows exactly where the phone is
cop: its at the lancer motel
mom: go get my phone and i want him arrested, i just bought that phone paid $450
cop: the lancer is a know motel hang out for drug dealers and gang members
mom: your a cop do your job the guy is probably a druggy you have him on video i will press charges its not like you have to look for him you know where hes at
cop: just buy yourself a new phone
mom: i just bought that one two weeks ago and paid $450
cop: sorry ( as he walked out )
she tracked the phone for a week the thief went from the hotel to rehab, taco bell, back to walmart and misc other places, she would call the police and advise them of his location.
DO YOU THINK THEY DID ANYTHING OR TRIED TO ARREST HIM NOPE, all she got was a were to busy
guess grand theft not worth there time, and you figure, hanging out at a know druggy hotel.
let me see
search/ arrest warrant
while searching the hotel they will probably find drugs giving the rehab is a know place where the court sends user and who know what else they will find
what else would you expect
i know i'll piss a lot of cops on this board off, but just stating facts i heard with my two ears, not some 3rd hand BS or wives tale
