Isn’t it likely the tools are also stolen? Did the police even check the trunk?


It's not like they would care, unless there was some very easy way to tell the owner, like a receipt or something.

They ain't gonna store them, or search for the owner... heck, they have tons 100 times more serious cases on hold...


As an owner of tools and a former tradesman I can tell you exactly what was stolen out of my tool kit. I would file a report and the police should be able to match that with recovered property.


They could, but it's the "caring"/"being on any spot on their priority list" part that's missing


I’m sure that if the toolbag had identification in/on it, the OP would have returned them.
