My experience in Canada wasn't that different.
Car was stolen, I found it a few blocks away. Cop showed up to take a report 12 hours later and immediately accused me of driving drunk, forgetting where I parked, then smashing up the steering column to create a cover story. Was very aggressive about it (see my story would change) until I looked him in the eye and told him I'm leaving if he wasn't going to help.
Similar experience in the US. Victim of theft from my garage, cops show up and pretty much don't care but are more interested in poking around.
Latest experience in both countries is utter indifference unless it's a violent crime. Last time my car was broken into I don't even both making a report.
