There are a lot of cities in the US where thefts are being treated by cops as a "meh sorry just call your insurance company.." So many police depts have been trying to do something to turn that mentality around since people are pretty pissed about it.. I had my laptop stolen about 10 years ago and that's exactly what happened.. The cop showed up like 5 hours after it happened and was like "yea good luck!" And catching people in the act is exciting for cops so it's something they are interested in doing.. It's good PR and interesting for cops.. Until this happens..

Same thing happened to me. I had my laptop stolen in Miami while I was there briefly for work. Spent half the day waiting on police and they wouldn't even write up a report for me. Told me to take it up with insurance when I got home. Of course when I got home, the insurance company said they couldn't do anything for me without a police report.
