Did the officer leave a note or otherwise notify the owner of the truck that his vehicle had been prowled? If it were me then I would want to know. Not only might an owner be alerted to the need to lock the vehicle at all times, but they could also check to make sure nothing was missing. After all, just because this guy admitted to stealing a flashlight and handed it back doesn't mean he didn't grab something else and leave it in his pocket.
