This is backwards. Do you have data to prove that police are responding to all stolen property reports?

How is this backwards? Person made a claim that the government provided data is inaccurate. You can't make those claims unless you provide data.
No, they very specifically wrote:

> When the cops don’t show up to take a report it doesn’t show up in crime report statistics.

This is accurate. You appear to be arguing that the reporting is commensurate with actual crime. You haven't provided any evidence of that.
