Quoted from aaron6920:The first time you get something stolen you think the police are going to go all CSI on the case and figure something out. It sucks when they just fill out a report and say they will try and patrol the area more often.
I bought a nice car after having my previous one for 20 years. First day driving to work - $8000 damage in a smash and grab. The car had paper plates. The only thing inside was a piece of plastic and a costco bag. That was the day I committed to finding a new job, away from downtown.
The police were not interested in taking a report. The person on the phone said I could report it online; but it would be for statistical purposes only. Oh, and the web site rejected my report because I didn't have a license plate number.
