I mostly disagree that it's on the Feds to recover stolen property.

If the Canadian Pacific police is contacted, told "Canadian Pacific has my stolen car, these are the case numbers with 2 different police services, and here is the exact container the car is in", I don't see how the right response is do nothing.

Because Canadian Pacific is not a position to verify your claims.
But they are the only ones with physical access to the container. Obviously it requires some cooperation between the two agencies, and the lack of cooperation is what is being criticized.
I think it's perfectly reasonable for CPR not to hand over a shipping container I claim contains my stolen property - but they should stop transporting the goods so they can be offshored.
