How so? The only thing I'm skeptical about is I would imagine his local PD would be way busy to go on a petty theft bust but other than that it sounds legit.

  Depending on the lens, it could be grand theft.

    Good point, GT is above what amount in California? Unless it's really high, it's really easy for a lens to fall in that GT category.

      Wikipedia says $400.

  I assume their easy cooperation indicates the guy is living in a reasonably affluent suburb where the police are both well-equipped and not very busy.

  They weren't too busy because the author did all the work for them: all they had to do was walk half a block and arrest a guy.

  would be way busy to go on a petty theft bust Please... this was probably the only real crime solving these guys did all week. I'm going to leave myself open to the "citation needed" charge by generalizing here, but doesn't most police activity involve pointless traffic stops, traffic direction, prosecution of victimless vice crimes, domestic disturbance calls, and paperwork?
