I am somewhat torn on this. I live in a pretty nice suburb on a small dead end street off another small dead end street. In other words people very seldom just drive by my place.
I leave the house the other night and notice an Amazon box on my front step. I know that it is the two bags of cat food that I had ordered. Since my garage was going down, I just decided to bring the box in when I got home a few hours later.
Well, I get home and some SOB has stolen the package. As an aside, I bet he felt like a real winner when his "haul" turned out to be two bags of speciality cat food.
My question is do I even bother to make a report? I don't expect the local police to be bothered with investigating the theft of $70 worth of cat food. However, on the other hand, if everybody thought like that, then thefts could be rampant in an area and the cops would have no idea.
Also, if admin uses stats to appeal for more funding, the more "crime" they can show occurs justifies their case better.
So, should I drop by the PD and report the theft or just forget about it?
