This is almost certainly a UK specific experience. The police here have a track record of treating people who report crimes with disdain.

It’s no different here where I live in Australia, for small property crimes anyway. They’ll file a report at least, but nothing will happen even if you know exactly who did it and have video proof.

More universal than you might suspect. Cops treating the 'citizens' with disdain is a pretty common feature of cops, at least in my experience.

That is, sadly, a rather universal experience.
