My confidence in CPS is low as they showed up to investigate 3 hours after we called and they were dispatched to investigate the other items that were stolen from the garage at the same time and had no idea about the stolen vehicle.

If you see this truck parked somewhere drop me a line, and thanks in advance!
The unfortunate reality is CPS just doesn't have the resources to take vehicle thefts as seriously as victims assume/want at the best of times, let alone during a recession.

They're stretched to the limit on almost every type of call these days, and calls with injuries and people involved are going to push stolen vehicles way down the list no matter how much they cost.

Troutman had the best advice - Basically wait a month or so and you'll likely get a call saying they found it abandoned somewhere and to come pick it up at the impound. Unless you drive a super noticeable vehicle you're likely not getting any officer hours put into specifically looking for your vehicle, so you're only hope of a quick turnaround is random license plate checks in public places or if it gets used in a crime and the police bust the person.
