I left my iPod on the desk overnight once while working at a large international investment bank. It vanished, presumably lifted by the cleaners. Security were remarkably uninterested in this, refused to do anything whatsoever (including checking the CCTV) although they did ask me to give them the crime number if I reported it.

That's easy enough to explain...
First off, lying to office security carries fewer repercussions than lying to the police to get a crime number. The office security guys won't want to be party to someone else's vendetta (would you?)
Secondly - if you care enough to waste hours of your time filing a police report, then you must give a damn about your shiny-thing. If not... well you clearly don't care enough and it's not a problem, so goodbye.
Read that how you will...
