Will it be detained if it is returned automatically after being stolen but has been reported to the police?

Yes, the criminal's secret theft makes the public and private property as the object of theft out of the control of the owner or occupier, and when it is under the actual control of the criminal, all the acts that constitute the crime of theft have been completed. As for the behavior of returning after theft, it belongs to the "afterwards" behavior after theft. These acts can only be regarded as the circumstances of lighter punishment for criminals, but they cannot exempt the perpetrators from criminal responsibility.
