Reporting something stolen here always
gets the same bored response
" well it's probably already in mexico by now. . ."
That doesn't mean they'll look for it
“Check the pawnshops, we never catch these guys”
When a cop says to check the pawnshops what the cop is really saying is “I don’t GAF about your stolen items and I don’t GAF about you. You’re bothering me and I don’t plan to help.” Pawnshops send in descriptions, model numbers and serial numbers as required by law.
Yeah, in this area, the police department has officers
on staff full time that go around to all the pawnshops
and do nothing else but look for stolen goods.
The last theft I had was when they got in my truck
and completely cleaned it out
I had extensive lists and descriptions of everything and
they only found my camera, right up here a couple of
blocks away. They had found it the very next day after
the report was made and the truck fingerprinted, but
I wasn't told until nearly a month later.
The detective on the case swore that's all that was
found and that I'd most likely never see any of it again
and that it was probably already in mexico by now.
They didn't do anything to the guy that pawned my
stuff and blew it off by saying that " He'll just say that
he found it on the side of the road. . "
In other words, we're not gonna do anything, and he
just got away completely free with the crime of
stealing your sh*t, so go get a life
