I’ve always wondered why is it so hard to find out who took items like this when they have one. Why don’t the LE just say to the thief in hand, that the time for theft like this is, let’s say, 2 years. Let him know that there were four people stealing. Since it is 2 years in prison, and since he is the only one caught and he won’t disclose the others, then he serves their terms also. That means he gets 8 years in the can while his “friends” party and live a life.
But, if he turns one in he loses 2 years. Another one, 2 more. And the third, the other two. Now he will be serving 2 years and the others involved will be caught and serve 2 years. And the only favor he gets is he will be guarenteed not to be allowed any contract with the other 3 until they all are released and he will be released a month early to get lost. Sounds fair to me. All the prison time that would have been served will be satisfied, all those who should get it are, and the one can get lost so he won’t be a problem with the other 3 when they look for him. And the one who talked, will be out of the area permanently and won’t bother the locals again. (Or the other 3 may find him, same situation) Win/win
