On a slightly related topic, I know of an instance where the Secret Service located a stolen color copier with somewhat greater speed than one might have expected.

1. Why was the secret service looing for stolen property?

The Secret Service is a division of the Treasury Department. One of their main duties is tracking down counterfeiters. If someone has stolen a color copy machine, there's a very good chance that it was stolen for the end purpose of counterfeiting. So I would imagine that that would be why the SS would be looking for this particular stolen property.
