I hope the thieves are detoured by the note and future actions are not required,
Posting the pictures is a logical next step if needed..

As posted above the only way the courts work at all, is if victims can participate in the process.

This issue is sad on so many levels....

To Cliff's point, having to appear in court makes no sense and IMO is part of the reason the system doesn't work.

For a criminal charge with clear evidence, the police should be able to handle it without dragging the "victim" into a long, drawn-out mess.

Why can't the court accept the video evidence, issue a warrant, and arrest the perpetrator? The need for the "victim" to tie up the courts simply to say, "yes, that's my money, yes that's the video, yes, I want him prosecuted" makes no sense to me when it's obvious a crime was committed, and the thief can be positively identified. The thief's rights will not be violated in my opinion. Evidence is clear, crime was committed, move on....

I hate to be cynical, but I feel the courts prefer to leave the deterrents in place. Not about politics please, but I personally would pay more taxes if I was confident it would actually get laws enforced. Like it or not, and for whatever reason, it appears there are more criminals than there are police and courts.
