Is there a jurisdiction where the cops actually care to track down burglars? The clearance rate is something like <20% in the US and I suspect many of those were luck based (ie: the caught the burglar for something else and found stolen property).
I've had cops show up the next day, take fingerprints, footprints, give me a call a few weeks later when they tracked down the perp. I don't live in the USA though...
If you're a cop or government official high up enough that being on your good side is useful to the cops it will get solved.
