I called the cops and the officer acted like I was wasting his time and said there was nothing that could be done with the info. But he was also an old guy who might not be aware of the craftiness and technical prowess of today's information and identity thieves. And I look at it this way...why would someone go through the trouble of stealing these items from as many cars as possible if they had no use for it? I started a credit freeze with Equifax just to be safe.

Should I worry?
Depending on where you are that might be enough (after forging a sale agreement) to transfer the car to someone else's name.
