When did cops say they don’t “go after” theft? I believe they don’t prioritize investigating it, but they can’t refuse to take a report

"Taking a report" doesn't do anything to solve the crime; it's simply paperwork for things like insurance, to prove that a crime happened.

The complaint is exactly that they "don't prioritize investigating it", because that is the point where police are actually providing a useful service.
