Working with indifferent police is frustrating. If they really cared, they would interview other stores, pull footage, try to find her going to her car/home.

        Did you read the article? It doesn't sound like the police were defunded, they weren't even using the budget they had: > The budget includes funds for 1357 officers and SPD says right now, there are 1,120 officers on the force—which leaves 237 open jobs.

        And they weren't spending the budget as intended (hence the vast number of open positions) and they still have tons of room to hire with the 2021 budget, so what was actually lost?

        About $38 million was lost

    When did the police get defunded? Pretty sure current admin only gave them oodles more funding.

  Do you honestly think police have the resources to track every stolen item like this?

    Hence the utility of AirTags.

    I would say it depends on the area. Small town? I'm sure they would if they're not lazy. Big city, yeah, they have better things to do. I've been salty about police since my car was destroyed in a hit and run and I had to crawl out the window and wait for police to respond for an hour. They didn't even bother to talk to witnesses or attempt to find the guy. LAPD folks.

      Why is a bug city any different than a small town? If there aren’t enough police then we should hire more. Let’s stop effectively legalizing entire classes of crime.

        I'm in agreeance with you. Not sure how though. The LAPD spends billions of dollars and still can't have a presence like a small town.

        I personally think a lot of these very democrat states have an issue with WAY over paying public employees. (Sorry, don’t have the time to get the data right now)

  Sorry, to be clear, I meant the shop owner, not the police.

  They aren't indifferent - they are trying to service multiple calls per day so unless you have specific actionable intel on where the stolen item is, then it's a total waste of time for them to canvas the neighborhood looking for your sack.
