Personally I don’t know what the police actually do these days…..been told they don’t have the power to recover stolen property!! Forgive my ignorance but isn’t crime the reason the police exist, theft is a crime is it not?!?! Go give yourselves a pat on the back for doing f*** all….while the public do your job for you, wether it be reporting traffic violations are recovering their own stolen property!
