A friend's guitar was stolen several years ago and, wonder of wonders, we found it for sale used at a Guitar Center in Dallas today. The staff was sympathetic, cooperative and helpful. Here's how it works in Texas – the store will release the guitar to the police, who will then release it to friend after comparing the guitar's serial number to the old police report. A happy ending for friend. The moral of the story is record the serial number(s) of your instruments and be sure to file a police report if one is stolen.
