You'd be doing a disservice to society by not reporting it, letting thieves get away with no threat of consequences, and for no good reason. It's not like the police are going to pull detectives off a murder case to go look for your reader. They don't need your help setting priorities.
But by reporting it (in addition to the benefits to you, of maybe getting your reader back and saving some money) then if the police were to happen to catch the thief on some other matter, there would be paper trail of evidence which would serve toward holding him accountable, and keeping him from victimizing others.
