It’s the government’s job then and since the police barely have to investigate anything they are sure to actually do something. That’s a quick way to get a search warrant filed.

It does not meet the legal definition of theft because (I believe) the property was initially acquired legally. Otherwise, the police would be doing repo for things like delinquent car loans, which is dystopian corporate hellscape stuff.
