> give the police temporary access to track it, til they catch the thief and get my stuff back.

I don’t know where you live, but as somebody who previously lived in San Francisco, do you really think the police are going to actively pursue theft claims? It’s why car break-ins and petty theft are out of control in the bay area. The police don’t enforce laws, and certainly don’t actively track down stolen property.

As somebody who has lived in a lot of places that aren't San Francisco, I can tell you that San Francisco is an outlier WRT how much illegal activity "law enforcement" puts up with.
If you dig a little deeper, you'll find out the issue isn't police choosing not to enforce the laws in SF...
