I'm not the one enforcing laws, I'm a rando. Why aren't the cops doing their jobs? Nationally, clearance rates are abysmally low. Everyone knows calling the cops for personal theft is useless. Why aren't they doing their job? And don't point to those cops in California claiming that it was a lax DA, as that doesn't explain the abysmal clearance rates in the rest of the nation, including in states with DAs who enthusiastically do their job, to a fault. The DA in California does not explain why the cops in my state are utterly incompetent. Cops don't want to do their jobs

Omitting the long lead up story, I was forwarded the eBay listing for my iPhone that had been stolen. It even had the IMEI on the listing. Looked at the guy's profile (and I had his name and address, as he'd sold my phone to someone who was annoyed that it was locked) and it was blindingly obvious that it was all stolen goods: 50+ cell phones, "no charger", "no accessories", some even flagged as locked. Another 50+ Macbooks - also "no chargers", "no accessories". Called my local PD (non-emergency) as I'd filed a police report. Told them what I'd found. PD: Well, he probably didn't steal them himself... Me: I'm fairly sure that selling stolen goods is still a crime? PD: ... Me: ... My tax dollars, hard at work.
