Then I had to wait for the CSI people to show up to get prints and what not. (there was alot of prints on the tiles since they had to crawl in this window)
And it took them and additional 5 hours to show up. (non-emergency)
The guy shows up, gives me this cocky "I know more about construction then you do" cause he saw some episode of "flip this house" or something then takes 2 prints.
He talks to me for like 30 minutes on how he never catches anyone on burglary cases and then tells me sorry he couldn't help and leaves.
My appreciation for police has gone down today. I have that bad taste in my mouth like I just wasted 9 hours of my day without pay for nothing.
Anyone ever have a similiar day.
It's a fucking breaking and entering. Nobody was murdered, I doubt anything of any real value was taken. I'd be surprised the cops showed up at all.
If i had not reported it, and it happens again (which it does once they do it) then there is no paper trail.
I know they are not going to do anything, but I have learned that doing nothing is not always a good thing.(Hence my VA claim..which is another story) I also didn't expect the result I got.
Don't you do photography? If someone broke into your shop, whatever, would you just go "Oh well, no one got killed" and just chalk it up to being a victim.
Plus how do you put a Value on money and equipment? I know to me it hinders my working ability if my tools are stolen.
It's between you and your insurance company, not you and the cops.
Isn't that what police are for. I know it is all fairytale and all that they are going to catch these people, but I just don't want to believe that the police departments are going to laugh and call my case a waste of time unless I had a dead body in my jobsite.
Even though I know you are true in what you say, I just don't want to believe it. Then that would mean that I am right about criminals haveing more advantage then lawful poeple.
I just lost alot of hope today..
Nothing more needs to be said.. I know it is stupid. I just didn't think I was the only one thinking that way.
You'd like to work your way up to dick but for now you're just a regular uniformed beat jockey.
You go out on your first ever non-emergency breaking and entering call. You do whatever it is you'd do, which probably involves everything that you - the contractor version I mean - were expecting from this particular cop.
Now imagine that cop you takes about a thousand more of these calls over the course of however many months. Mix in thousands more calls, some totally frivolous, some interesting, but most of them legit and totally boring. Now imagine that Cop You gets the very same call that Contractor You just made. After thousands of identical calls, how exactly would you behave?
Odds are good you'd be disinterested. If you really cared you'd probably let the guy know what usually happens on these kinds of calls.
I really don't know if an inability to drum up enthusiasm over something they've done a billion times makes them bad cops.
However, neither is your disappointment really unreasonable. Sure the cops make a billion of those calls... but you only made one. In your world, this is the most important robbery report call ever made, and rightfully so. Just like every customer service situation, there is some onus on the part of the cop to make you feel better about what happened, but at the same time you also need to realize the cop's situation.

We do not live in the magical world of CSI where all police departments consist of 7 crime lab techs and 3 uniformed officers to guard the halls, who solve every crime within 1 hour.
From an insurance stand point, I hope you've read your policy on the property really well.
I am not getting insurance involved.
I do have a company truck btw. Still better then pancake.

Nice attitude. Bet you say that to rape victims also.

Now that I think about it the only reason the cops did anything at all was to make sure you didn't do it in the interests of committing insurance fraud.
Most be a big thing in your part of the woods. (claims not having it)
When you do it whats your reason.

There was a man working there that got fired and I am sure it was him since he came looking around right after the police left.
I also didn't want it to come back to me, so I covered my ass by calling the police.
Summer Donna Greenlit, I don't know why you and Parce always target me when I post.

You guys want to talk about Family Matters?
I shot a kid. He was thirteen. Oh, it was dark, he had a toy gun...looked real enough.

Greenlit had this to say about Robocop:

Everyone is fascinated by my name.
Anyway, Family Matters was probably the best of the family sitcoms due to the fact that it was a "black" family sitcom that never explicitly called attention to the fact it was black. Black sitcoms tended to be grittier than white sitcoms, like Full House or Step-by-Step. I mean, what did those deal with? The excruciatingly mundane, such as sibling rivalry, to the downright silly, such as making out with a prince of some nation. For these reasons, the Cosby Show is little better.
Admittedly, Family Matters had mundane and ridiculous moments, too, such as Steve Urkel using a cloning machine or some other crap. But they also dealt with some serious issues, not all of which were exclusively black: peer pressure on males in regards to virginity and abstinence, gang violence, gun control, police brutality, racism (obv.), extremism, religion, father-replacement, and so on.
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air had a lot of these issues, including dealing with the concept of fathers abandoning children, but it always called attention to the fact that it was a black sitcom. Rarely did Family Matters press that fact; they simply happened to be a family that was black, rather than a black family.

But you have offended my honor, I challenge you to a push-up duel
