Police are usually useless anyway. Guy broke into my house and stole my DVD player, the matrix and some of my mums jewellery. Police came and they couldn't have cared less the pricks just looked around a bit and fukked off.
You're not lying. My apt in NYC got robbed (stole my new tv, Xbox, and sneakers - probably a couple grand worth of rare Jordans) and the cops came, hit me with the

and said I should consider myself lucky they didn't throw my cat out the window
Joke was on the thieves tho cuz that tv was defective anyway and I had just made a call to LG the day before

so I gotta new one for free. Cops did say they thought it kids because they didn't tear my place apart or steal everything (like crackheads) and because they just snatched whatever they could get their hands on in that moment. I had a valuable digital cam and more expensive dunks in the closet but they just grabbed the jays, etc and left.
I do remember mentioning I had just had the tv inspected because it was defective and they asked me if I thought it could have been the tv repairman

They never followed up tho
