Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
It depends on the state's laws. Some states yes, others no. Additionally, red light cameras typically operate under a different set of laws in each state. The rules for mailing tickets may be substantially different from on view violaions observed by a police officer. So, you may or may not get a ticket mailed to you. I really dont know. Call the police department in question if it is really bothering you.
1. Noise violations are not crimes.
2. Just because you think it is noisy, doesn't mean it is a violation of local ordnance.
3. Calling the cops on your neighbor for a noise violation is a pretty petty thing to do.
4. Asking the government for permission to do something with your own property (i.e. your obsession with permitting) is repugnant. Even so, it is not likely enforceable by police officers.
I feel sorry for your neighbor.
If it has already been stolen, and you have not proactively installed tracking software, you are probably out of luck. You might want to check some of the tech sites for additional information. Alternatively, you could call the NSA and ask for help, but they might not appreciate the call.
If you have not lost your phone, try installing one of these programs...

When I did the job for 8-12 hours a day, I had no interest in watching more of it on the tv.
Besides, the way the editors cut the reality shows like Cops up to make them fit between commercials is not realistic. You only see a fraction of a case, say 10 minutes of something that took the officers hourse to resolve. It might be exciting, but it builds a very unrealistic expecation in the public.
Oh, and about 95% of what you see in CSI is b.s. I can't tell you how many times I had someone tell me to do something impossible that they saw in that show.
If you believe a crime has been committed, I would encourage you to contact the police.
