I’ve heard stories like this from everyone I’ve ever talked to about property crime, whether it’s in a big city or a small one. Police don’t really care about it. I’ve had friends with stolen phones who know exactly where they are because of Find My iPhone, and the police wouldn’t do anything. This has been true for years, long before anyone was talking about police defunding.

The only crime I've ever seen Seattle police respond promptly to was a shooting, they got here within a minute or two from when I heard the gunshots. But something like a crazy person screaming at 3am in the middle of the street throwing traffic cones at cars? They don't show up for that at all. They won't even send even a single patrol car for that.
