Cool! Get it out there that the police aren't doing the job to the best of their ability. Simple things like this, warrent to search this guys house, could turn up so many other things.
An aquarium store I once worked at was burglarized twice. The cops didnt really care but they got a good lead and eventually followed it. Busted the guy and found tons of other stuff he had stollen. They even got two other thieves in the bust.
It's not just the big busts like on TV. The small stuff is just as important! Possibly more!
