I met a woman yesterday who had been robbed in this general area, the thieves making off with everything. They suspect meth-head squatters near by. The thieves even left a convenient trail of stolen items back to their lair. The police told her "we can't enter the property without permission from the legal owner." They didn't seem to be too interested in tracking down the owner of record, though.
the real question is - why wasn't the woman who was robbed interested in tracking down the owner? the burden should not lie with the police, but rather with the responsible property owner or tenant. if the victims don't care, why should the police?
