By actually investigating thefts. Me and my friends had several bikes stolen in a Belgian train station's bike park and police do not check cameras, even if you can timebox the theft within 3 hours. "No resources to investigate".

I mean, they really don't have resources. You need to significantly expand the police force (and spending) if you want this of thing.

And arguably, maybe that's not worth it? Or maybe it is. Either way, this is really a political problem, not a problem with the police.

You're right, I'd rather have them hiring dedicated detectives on this to enforce existing laws than making new laws and state infrastructure. Of course this is a political discussion.
