tell the local police department you will give $1000 reward to the cop who finds it. a friend did this and they found his within 2 hours because they were looking for it
LOL! Nice if you could actually do that, but law enforcement officers cannot take gratuities.
I don't think any professional officer would ever risk losing their job!
Somebody knew it was there. Possibly that somebody even knew you were under the weather for a few days. That's not just a random average car theft.
If they climbed over a bunch of furniture and had to move things, my first thought would be to try to get fingerprints. A lot of stuff got handled, and if they left a print, it could be entered into a database. I know when my truck was stolen back in 2000, and then recovered stripped, the police had better things to do and couldn't be bothered with taking prints, though, so your mileage may vary. Good luck. This absolutely sucks, and those dirtbags need to be drawn and quartered.
Sadly property crimes are way down on the list for most busy jurisdictions. Not sad that violent crimes come first- but more to the point there isn't enough manpower to persue theft to the fullest.

Three years ago my DD was stolen. Things of value (spotting scope, binoculars, shooting jacket, other things) in the trunk were taken but the car was recovered intact. After some weeks passed I was surprised to get a call from a police detective to come to the police station to view some pics. I had no idea but fingerprints had been taken when the car was released, a surprise.
Turns out one of the pics was of a gal who was in the system. When confronted by police she admitted to driving the car. She didn't or wouldn't give up her loser perp boyfriend who stole the car. In a drug rehab program at the time she was later arrested. I learned later on she couldn't make restitution and received 3 years probation.
FCbill. .. Hopefully the police will step up the investigation. Sorry this happened to you.

Yeah, I don't understand that. They will post a surveillance camera video of a bank robber and all you can see is a blurry image that could be yourself and you wouldn't know it. But the average homeowner can post a home security video of someone stealing a UPS package off their front porch and your can nearly count the freckles on their face. Why is that?

So true. Maybe the homeowner actually cares about catching the thieves?
I have been reviewing video footage, these guys are GD Idiots!!!!!!! They are the luckiest SOBing thieves I have ever seen. It took them 2 hours to steal this car. What is horrible, they parked their truck and trailer in a driveway that was illuminated by street lights, FOR 2 HOURS on a 4 lane highway!!! Where were the Deputy Sheriff's and State Troopers??? I will provide more info later.
OP, I have some experience in this stuff. That is actually quite a bit to go on. You have to be your own detective. Trace the possible route and see if you can get additional camera footage from differnt businesses or homes. Homes are probably the best. Also see if there are any redlight cameras in the area that may have captured the crooks. If you get a plate or partial plate, ask the local Law Enforcement if they have a License Plate Reader (LPR) system that can query the partial plate and sort via Make or model. Same states have different plate sequences for autos and pickup trucks.
Also if they can sort through Field Interview cards or citations for that make and color truck, in close timeframe to the crime....might come up with the crooks.
Get the name and number of the local Auto Theft detective supervisor and be on a first name basis with him/her.

Not sure I'd call them idiots. Parking in dark shadows and skulking around might attract attention. If somebody parks right out in the open right under the lights, they MUST be on the up-and-ip with nothing to hide. Right?
Hide in plain sight!
Hope they are found and turned over to about 25 Corvette owners at midnight for their punishment!
