I know the problem 257weatherby, I had my spare new 32x11.5-15 and mag stolen earlier this year, ... along with the almost new fronts, and rears and everything holding them all together and inside. At least $1k worth of tools and recovery gear in it too. Report it, it helps even if they are not actively looking (needle in a haystack trying to do that anyway). When someone gets caught with gear they obviously didn't obtain legitimately it improves the chances of them getting nabbed for the gear if the police can trace it back to being stolen.
Don't get too hung up on it, it is only gear and can be replaced. Just the reality of the world we live in. Relax and carry on.
