I am a Police Officer myself and don't understand why they couldn't get a warrant. They probably could have gotten the name and address of the phone number just by calling the local telephone providers. Warrants are not very hard to get either. The reporting officer has to write the warrant request and ask a judge to sign it. It takes a couple hours to do the paperwork, so I am guessing that the officer was just being lazy. The crime is grand theft, burglary, and intentional damage to propertywith both two being felonies in my state. I would think that would be a major enough crime to have something done. Bad cop I'm thinking.
