I had the exact GPS location of my stolen iPhone in Atlanta. It stayed in one house for several hours, I drove to that house, called the police while parked in that street. They refused to do anything, the phone wasn't "worth it". They stated that: if it had been inside a stolen car they would have sent someone. When I asked why they weren't acting on the AT&T-supplied information, the policeman challenged me "are you going to tell me how to do my job?"
- georgieporgie 15y agoI've been told that a phrase which often spurs police into action is, "well, okay then, I've got my gun and I'm heading over there now."
- JackWebbHeller 15y agoI wonder what the legal implications of saying that would actually be...?
- stretchwithme 15y agoI wonder what one has to do to get them to respond. Perhaps calling an attorney and getting a search warrant? People that steal without being punished are going to keep doing it. But preventing crime really isn't in the best interests of big city unionized police forces. Most have effectively insulated themselves from the demands of the average citizen.
