I think this get's solved depending on how much the police care. On a scale of 1-10 i say a 4.

To each his own but that theft wouldn’t be on my radar. If information came forward I would certainly investigate…. Beyond that, file a claim with your insurance carrier.

I was hoping the thieves got caught by now, so it's a little upsetting that we haven't heard any news yet.

Those cards were across the southern border within hours of Ash's post. They're in the hands of the cartel.

What’s the cartel going to do with them?

Search the archives for Copperfield. I don't know if the FBI finally busted his ring, but he ran a multimillion dollar fake slab operation for years aimed at the US market. There could easily be an equivalent who would find ways to sell these cards into the US or globally. Speculating of course, but don't see why not.

I spoke to that guy several times on the phone. He laughed at law enforcement from his Mexico residence.
Totally weird. One time I tried to conference-in the Secret Service (or DHS, I forget), but it didn't work.

I agree. Had this been murder, the perps are probably in jail by now.

Ever check out the show called, "See No Evil." There are hundreds of murder investigations in that series where perps are caught simply using video. Great show!

If FBI and LE are doing their job, they know what the perps were doing in Dallas that day. Now, if they are from out of town or from places far away, this could get tougher. Locals will almost always get caught within a short few days because someone can ID them using photos, so the fact that there has been no arrest (that we know of) tends to show that these perps were not from that area.
