5. The "zoom, enhance" stuff you see on CSI

Is mostly fiction. If you can't enhance it on your own PC, the local police can't either.

Now it's possible that the FBI or CIA can -some-. Possible. Not certain. And that's using AI and heavy duty processing power and very specialized skills.

But lets put this in context. Now you would be asking the FBI/CIA to divert scarce tools and people, to investigate a crime, whereby someone snuck into a house, and stole a sick dog. (and I'm ignoring jurisdiction as neither can normally investigate local dog theft)

I like pets as much as anyone. But I think the cops did all they could, given the circumstances and assessment of the situation.
