So not cops then. That's exactly what I was saying, the copyright owners usually chase this stuff, not the police. I just can't imagine uniform ever doing this

If you're curious, you should look up the story (I saw on HN years ago) about an apple R&D engineer leaving a next-gen iPhone prototype at a bar. Some guy found it and took it home and Apple got almost a SWAT team level response from the police to get it back. Also, the programmer who quit Goldman Sachs and they got the FBI to arrest and hold him for (IIRC) a whole year before he cleared his name. Allegedly he copied the entire trading system software to his personal drive, (and he did start his own HFT company) but his side was that people copied company code outside the network all the time and this was routine, and none of GS' code was found on his new company's server.
