But despite calls to several police services and the help of a private investigator, he's no closer to getting it back.

"Wait, you expect us to actually do our job :( "

It's a PRIVATE police service, the PUBLIC police force shouldn't have to ask anything from them and should be laughing in their face as they're opening containers.

They should need to get a warrant, but that doesn't sound too hard in this instance.

Yep and judges don't work nights. Nothing for the police to do in this instance except wait for the next day... And then it was gone.
