Yeah...I was surprised the cops helped at all.

My dad has many high end game/trail cameras. One of his went missing, so he checked the others and found clear as day video of the neighbor trespassing and stealing it.

Took it to the cops, and they acted annoyed and told him to just sue. I was in disbelief.

Granted cops shouid be doing more than Revenue Collection. (In Marin County, we have zero crime in most twowns, but they are ticket happy, and it's irritating.)

That said, I'm glad the cop didn't arrest the neighbor. Unless you have footage of the heighbor removing the camera, it's not cut and dry.

I would take the neighbor to small chains court, but then you have to live next to guy with a grudge? A guy with a grudge can make your life miserable.

The "grudge with the neighbor" ship sailed the moment his neighbor stole his stuff. Enabling petty theft encourages it. If your neighbor stole one thing this time and got away with it, who knows what he'll be stealing next time.

That's exactly what the OP said they had.
