Well seeing as how my car was broken into like clockwork for 6 years running til I finally stopped putting a new radio in and started leaving the doors unlocked and the windows rolled down to keep them from getting broken by theives too stupid to see that the locks weren't being used. I'd say that the cops had PLENTY of reason to come out at least once to check for prints in that time period to find out if it was the same theif year after year. if nothing else they would at least have gotten some prints to put in their little file cabinets.
