Reported crime suffers from the same issue. Have you lived in a place where you need to report crimes, perhaps happening to you, and the police straight up tell you they probably won't response? I have, and you basically don't bother reporting them anymore. So again, officially, the crime did not happen.

Nope.

>I have,

Sucks to be you, I guess.

It's odd. I've lived pretty much all over the US over the past 50+ years and I've never had such a problem.

Please do share where you lived where your public servants are so crappy so I know never to go there. Thanks!

Sorry to be a bit disjointed in my replies here, but I'm flabbergasted.

Especially since WRT property crime (which is what we're discussing here), filing an insurance claim requires providing access to an actual police report that can be provided (by the police) to the insurance company in order to get your claim processed.

Again, please let us know which jurisdiction(s) (and please, be specific) it is that refuses to take reports of property crime. Thanks!

Edit: Fixed usage.
