After that long, it's very possible it's changed hands several times, quite possibly to someone at one point who wasn't aware it was stolen. Returning it to the rightful owner is still justified, but prosecuting someone who had no idea they were getting stolen goods is iffy... If you can prove they knew (or that they themself were the thief) sure, but that often won't be the case.

the original owner may not have use for it since they have a replacement, but they can at least sell it or something.

If the person didn't know it was stolen, they should likely be let off the hook. But if they were commiting other crimes (especially more serious ones such as drug dealing), their other crimes would be reason enough to destroy thier crediblity of not knowing it was a stolen item..
