I have a neighbor who had large rocks thrown through his front windows a short while back. This was in the evening. He is quite elderly too. The police did not respond but a person did show up later the next morning to write a report up since he doesn't have internet access.
It's probably a local thing but I've heard similar stories from other people that the police do not respond to simple theft anymore. Just go online, file your report and get a report # for the insurance. The same goes for accidents too. If there are no injuries then there is no need for the cops.
I want you to know I am not being a smart*** just talking.
"happened already"
If someone calls the police and tells them people are breaking into a home, the police will respond. Its that simple, if I am wrong and someone lives in a part of the country where police will not go to a home being broken into, well then, it would simply tell you, that the police control you and not you the police, which I know is not true.
Heck there would be no law and order.
Its simple, your alarm goes off, the video feed from the alarm shows someone in your home. You call the police, the police will go to your home, if not, move out of that town because once people know, no one will want to live there and property value will plummet.
