Because it’s the police’s responsibility to stop the snatchers in the first place? Not insist that other companies make up for their lack of results.
It’s not a COMPLETELY terrible idea, I know Apple already bricks stolen phones upon request, but at the owner’s expense. It’s still the people hired to solve the problem passing the responsibility on to others.
