Mobile phones deliberately left in pubs and clubs by Sussex Police to catch thieves were all returned.
Officers planted phones fitted with tracking devices in nine clubs and pubs in Hastings and St Leonards as part of Operation Mobli on Saturday night.
However the phones were handed in at the bar or security staff and not one was stolen.
Sergeant Che Donald said: “My faith has been restored.”
