Because they couldn’t. He bought the bag before they automatically tracked all purchasers with a unique ID on the bags they sell. The CEO of PD actively called the tip line.

Was anyone saying that the bag company was tracking the guy? It sounds to me like this is just a quiet way to confirm that it was their bag in case all the comments about this being the new hot fashion play out.
No, but the CEO of Peak Design called the police to say that he recognised the bag as one of his company’s and promised to do whatever he could to help track the CEO-killer down.
He just couldn’t help because V1, unlike V2 of the bag, doesn’t have a unique serial number on it so he wasn’t able to supply a name and address after all.
“Don’t worry,” say Peak Design in their announcement, “if your bag is stolen, you can contact us so we can delete your personal data and you won’t get reported to the police erroneously.”
It turns out that Peak Design are very keen to be on the cops’ side on this one. Maybe they think they have more CEO customers than healthcare insurance denial victim customers.
I’m not sure that’s the publicity win they seem to think it is.
