The police aren't going to pursue any suspects over a stolen TV period. The obligation of the police is not to solve crime. They are more or less required to create a police report for you, but that is about it.

Not to defend the police but the cops (in CA) did follow up on a burglary of my wife's handbag (with wallet/ids/phone) from her car at a gas station.

If the theft was part of a bigger issue with (to use the Kwikset hypothetical) the vendor's product defect allowing mass thefts then it would be important to the police.

The cops in San Jose CA did nothing when the glass was shattered and my bag was stolen from my car.

This largely depends on the specific city you are in. Not all of CA has made theft and burglary de-facto legal.
