I'm damn glad they don't do that, because my mother's Kindle was stolen, then recovered. Of course my parents tried to go online and were most unhappy to find that it was blacklisted and unusable for its purchased purpose forever, even though the property was returned to them unharmed. They would have been even less happy if Amazon had called the police on them!
(And how would Amazon have known where the Kindle was located, anyway? It's not like the police would be interested in knowing that somewhere in the world a Kindle associated with your crime report has just been activated. Not that Amazon know which police station and crime report number is associated with any given stolen Kindle anyway.)
