A lot of armchair law enforcers hiding behind computer screens here, If you ever get robbed you're going to want that cop to show up 4 hours later and tell you they don't give a shit.

Funny you should mention that. I had a car broken into and called the police. They told me to go online and fill out a report. I told them no, that was their job and they needed to come out and take the report. They said they didn't have an officer that could do it for a couple hours. I said fine. I'll be waiting. Cop finally comes out, first question he asks is if I have insurance. I asked what did that have to do with anything? He said they likely would never find my stuff and at least I could get it replaced. I asked him if they were going to look and he said no.
Fuck...but if I happen to forget to put on a seatbelt fucker would be johnny on the spot to give me a ticket.
Friend of mine and his wife were packing their car for a trip, with trips back and forth between the car and house -- in one of those gentrifying parts of Seattle... when they are almost done... they realize her purse is gone. He goes inside and uses the apple "find my phone" app to locate the phone that was in the purse... and narrows it down to 2 houses about 5 blocks away... in the same neighborhood, but in the part that is less gentrified.
They call the police, explain the situation, and that they have narrowed it down to two houses. The purse also had a fairly expensive camera in it, in addition to the iPhone.
Cops said they couldn't do anything unless a witness saw the theft... regardless of what the "find my phone" app showed.
Lazy fuckers. You can blame the ACLU all you want for making police work harder... but that is pure laziness.
