Agreed. I had a break-in in my apartment last decade and the cop who came in just said "it happens all the time in terrace level apartments". A week later the investigating detective sent a form for me to fill and that was that. They giving me a police report to be used to file claims with insurance was the only useful thing they did.
In a town hall meeting later that year the local police chief said they don't investigate burglaries unless it was a home invasion (they coming in while you are present).
- AustinCarr 7y agoDespite our multiple inquiries with the Kent/Hertfordshire police in the UK, it's still unclear whether they fully investigated arguably the most significant lead in the theft: a suspicious man named "Jamie" who attempted to sell similar-looking model locomotives to a train shop ~62 miles away, just hours after the robbery was discovered...Jamie took off in a rush after the shop's owner asked for paperwork on the trains. The Kent police say they passed the lead onto Hertfordshire; the Hertfordshire police told me they have no record of the incident.
