There's a lot you can do yourself.
A buddy of mine came home for lunch and found his house had been broken into. He noticed their DVDs were missing (this was years ago), so he drove around to every pawnshop in the city looking for the DVDs. At one Cash Converters, he noticed his DVDs in a stack. He called his wife to meet him, and while she distracted the clerk he took down the name and address on the purchase form. He then drove out the address (a trailer park) and waited with his baseball bat. Then he realized he was being dumb and went home and called the cops with the information. They went to the Cash Converters and, no surprise, the security cameras were out of order. But they had enough information to identify the burglars, and arrests were made.
