Yea, I think you’re on to at least a big part of that number.

I remember a few years back my house got broken into. They didn’t get anything from me as my neighbor saw them go in and called Police. The police busted them and found their car full of other people’s stuff. A year or two later, I got called to the Police department property room to collect my “stuff”. I went down there, saw the stuff and told them it wasn’t my stuff. They read my name, I said yes, They said, “Take your stuff” and pushed it toward me. I repeated, “its not my stuff”. He then said, “Look, we don’t know who’s it is, nobody claimed it, yours is the open case and we are NOT giving back to the thieves. Here is YOUR stuff. Take it. You do what you want with it and we close a case”...
