They will never get around to it. They don't even pursue stolen cars.

When you say "they" I assume you are talking about your police department and not perhaps a department in another location or country?

So you’re speaking on behalf of all police departments

Thanks

Not sure what type of mad max world you live in.

Toronto & NYC

Welp, perhaps demand better from your elected officials.

I live in a town. A few years ago, I had my car broken into with my bag and laptop stolen. Cops took fingerprints and forensics, found a match in a database, visited the suspect, arrested him (as he couldn't explain why his fingerprints was in my car), searched, found, and reclaimed my property.

I had a bunch of equipment stolen from a car in Mountain View and the lazy cops just dropped the case.

Those guys probably went on to steal more shit from someone else.

Ok

Well I'd rather be able to file a report with a location and proof of purchase than filing a report without having a single clue where it is

That doesn’t mean the system shouldn’t be improved, though?

I never said it shouldn't be improved, in fact I didn't have any problems with it to begin with. That was the commenter above me.
