>Police is in many cases at least 30 minutes away, if not more, and have no resources to investigate the theft of 10L of milk.

Just for reference [0], NYC police's response times for "serious" and "non-critical" 911 calls are close to or over 10 minutes. Responses to "alarms" (which I assume would be things like B&E to a shop after hours) is over 30 minutes.
