I was a construction superintendent a couple of decades ago and had a rented backhoe stolen overnight after I had parked it directly under cameras.

This was in Sunland Park, New Mexico which is basically Eastern El Paso.

The police weren't interested in getting camera footage at all. They also weren't very interested in following the backhoe tracks through the sand that went through a backyard gate at this trailer house a few hundred feet away containing cerement mixers, junk, and dozens of bicycles in different states of repair.

I came back to that job a few months later to check on some things and there was another backhoe parked in that backyard yard. I called the police. They said "what crime are you reporting? stop calling if you don't have a crime".
