Sis if you are willing to take the risk, that is your choice, but I sincerely hope you will not be expecting your local ACO or law enforcement to place the loss high on their priority response list since you made a knowledgeable decision about leaving them in the car and what the risks were.

Perhaps it's more common for those of us that are actively involved in some level of training or dog sports to leave our dogs in the car unattended for periods of time

Should I also expect the police to not take it as a priority if someone stole something from my house when I left a back door unlocked vs if I had locked everything?

It took him tooks seconds to break the stearing column and then I came running out and then Travis came running out with his .357 pointed in his face. He tried to run Travis over with our own car. Finally Travis shot the tires out. My point is that when people are deteremined enough nothing will stop them from taking your dog or your car.

And why didn't Travis just shoot him?
