Walked outside to see a fucker trying to jiggle my door and ran off when I confronted him. Shits worth $300 and has different color doors. Who’s chopping this shit up? They gotta be selling it to developing countries where they’re worth more. I suppose that’s why beat up cars are more valuable than high end ones because it’s more affordable overseas
Cops don't recover stolen cars. You might as well tell them someone stole your ebike. You'll get a police report so you can file an insurance claim. That's it.

Did he still have the title for a car he lost ten years ago? Seems to me like suddenly getting an old car back might turn out to be a huge hassle.

AFAIK:
Best case scenario: the VIN is still in the DMV's database and still matches the engine's and the DMV gives you a new title for a small fee.
Worst case scenario: the VIN is missing or doesn't match or isn't in the database and the car is illegal to drive and can't be registered until you pay for inspections that will likely cost more than the car is worth. At this point just sell it to a junkyard.
Sometimes they do. I know a guy whose car was stolen because dumbass left it running and unlocked in front of his apartment complex (to warm it up during the winter), and the people who stole the car apparently drove it to the nearby Walmart, went grocery shopping, then drove it to a nearby mall and abandoned it with groceries still in the trunk.
Duder got his car back about a day later, and he got to keep the chips and nacho cheese dip that they left in there.
