I'll give another perspective. First as stated above, once your vehicle is reported stolen it is in a national database called NCIC, if an officer in Alaska pulls it over it will come back stolen. There is nothing another agency can do for you except perhaps recover it in their jurisdiction if located.
The overwhelming majority of stolen cars are simply recovered abandoned, many of them within a few days and many with minimal damage. That would be my hope for you and your vehicle. Some obviously get destroyed either maliciously or out of stupidity, and a few are actually stolen by real theft operations that will strip them. Those you are not likely to get back.
The police are definitely interested in recovering your car, preferably with thug inside but it is not easy. Just in KC the
recent list of stolen autos exceeds 100 cars, and that list is "fluid" meaning it constantly changes as cars are newly stolen and previous stolen autos are recovered. That is an awful lot for an officer to look for especially considering stolen cars are just a tiny fraction of what police are expected to devote time to. And cars are obviously mobile, a car stolen just 20 minutes ago can easily be cruising the streets a full two jurisdictions away in that short time.
To add to the frustration prosecution of captured thugs is nearly non-existent here and from what I've heard that is not uncommon in larger metro areas. Prosecutors figure they have bigger fish to fry. Pretty much a no win situation for the police. We try anyway, because that's the way we are!
It sucks, I hate thieves, I hope you get your car back and so do the cops. Really.
