A few days ago the car I was in was robbed while we were driving in Chicago. I immediately called 911. They said they'd send someone so I told them where to find the driver. They called me back 20 minutes later and said they were not coming and that such a crime could be reported by phone only. The driver's phone had been stolen. - As a former Chicago resident I can say this is par for the course, in large part because that type of theft is extremely common. As a general rule you cannot leave anything of value within site in your car or it will probably be gone by sunrise.
