The scale of the theft probably plays into it. I read about cops not helping to recover stolen bicycles. But multiple power tools could reach into felony territory, depending on their value. I’m happy this person didn’t get a “not our problem” response, but I’m not surprised that these items were deemed “important” enough to pursue. And what a haul on the bust! $3-5m (estimate) in multiple locations.

Hope is get to read about the thieves getting pinched soon. Who knows, that huge caper in a Canadian airport just finally yielded arrests, so my optimism has been somewhat restored in _some_ aspects of the justice system.
