The police might be thinking more along the lines of - do you really want to press charges against him? Do you want your brother to be charged with a felony crime that will cause him problems for the rest of his life? If he truly did steal your car, and you really want him arrested and prosecuted for a felony, then you can try to talk directly with the chief of police about your concerns.
