Comment on The terrible tragedy of a stolen Steam Deck
chetradley@lemmy.world 2 months agoThey don’t give a shit about your stolen items, and 9/10 times it’s a complete waste to even contact them over “petty theft”, regardless of how valuable the item/s are to you.
When I was in college, my apartment got broken into. The cop that came when I called was less than helpful. Some highlights:
- He immediately argued with me that the crowbar marks on the door frame must have been there before.
- I told him about the TV that was stolen and he bragged that he had two TVs that were larger than that.
- He tried to bust me for weed when he saw my hookah. I had to explain to him that it was in fact not a bong and was only used for tobacco.
- He mentioned that if it were him robbing me, he would have stolen the microwave instead.
- As he was leaving, he told me that they wouldn’t be able to catch whoever did it, so they weren’t going to look.

The cops are so unhelpful with break ins. I had a very similar experience when our house was broken into. First they told us our TV couldn’t have been stolen out the window if we only had a bigger tv, then they told us they couldn’t find any of our stuff and that they wouldn’t try either.
