ATF do not take stolen arms reports from non-licensees. A lot of localities don't maintain a registry of stolen firearms.
This is very misleading. National Crime Information Center (NCIC) — FBI maintains a national registry of stolen guns. Every police department in the US reports stolen guns to them, if they can.

The big problem is that people leave their guns in unlocked cars and kids just come by and take them. The same person that is that lazy and irresponsible of a gun owner is also the same guy who has no idea what the serial number is. So when his gun is stolen the odds of getting it back are virtually zero.

I had a friend who had a burglary seven years ago and his rifle turned up in a drug dealer's stash two states away. He got the gun back.
