When I was burgled a few years ago (back in England) the guy left a rucksack with a wallet and ID in it in the back garden. I handed it over to the police but they said it wouldn't be his as no one would be that stupid. Guess what...

I essentially gathered the evidence myself by getting security tapes from Blockbuster (he used my card to rent some movies and didn't return them) and pestering the officer assigned to my case every couple of days until they finally arrested him.
