He's right about all of it. Police are useless in recovering stolen property. I've had two experiences with stolen vehicles in Fort Worth, the first was 41 years ago. The police couldn't be bothered. They told us to go look for it, when we found it, we called them, they told us to just drive it away. Good luck with that, the thief had the only keys. The second case they claimed was a "civil" matter because the thief was also a company employee. So they couldn't be bothered. Wouldn't even file a report despite phone calls and visits. Why, if you didn't know better, you'd almost think police have a symbiotic relationship with criminals.

Had a friend buy a old cab for some body parts from a guy and he found a old insurance card stuck in the glovebox and contacted the original owner trying to get a title instead of the bill of sale, found out it was stolen guy gave him investigators number in Houston he called investigators numerous times only got one call back and years later cab and body parts still in pasture have heard nothing since, cops are not there to protect anybody besides themselves

Dallas PD is a complete joke. Has been for years. You call 911 for an in progress theft and it takes AN ENTIRE DAY for a cop to show up, if they show up at all. I moved my business to Richardson bc I got so fed up with Dallas Police lack of doing fucking anything about crime.

12 detectives for 15,000 thefts, that's over 1000 cases per man.
@gregorylagrangeКүн бұрын
They don't ever really actively look for the cars. They just file reports when they're made. And do the real pursuing when something comes along that gives them a definite hard lead. Like those 1000 cases. If something happens in Burleson that the Burleson police make an arrest, like arresting somebody in possession of a stolen car, then Dallas will just add their cases info to the Burleson case. Those Dallas cops were never intending to track anything down in Burleson. They would only actively do something if the majority of those 1000 cases pointed to a common location in Dallas.

Back in the 80's I was a drilling superintendent for an independent oil company and had a bunch of drill pipe stolen. The sheriff, no help. The DPS, no help. Called the Texas Rangers (NOT the baseball team) and he came out and said, "I'll have something for you soon." THE NEXT DAY HE HAD THE PIPE, THIEF AND my gratitude!

@Fjk213415 күн бұрын
For them to call you nine years later most likely your bike was involved in a crime with someone that used it to do something illegal. Your bike for the nine years was either hidden in someones home for years or sold from crackhead to crackhead for years. But for them to actually sit there and pin point it to you means they had to have dug deep,investigate about the bike and the person that was last with the bike.

A person hit my vehicle and drove off. The vehicle was black, so I never noticed until I got in the light. The cop had to come out 3 times because he forgot key facts for the police report. The driver was never charged for a hit-and-run. I was told by the police, they had better things to do besides solving my hit-and-run. Later that night, I solved my own case. There was part of a tail light cover laying in the street. I connected it to a vehicle across the street. Then, since we had the same insurance company, they at first refused to pay. I made sure the car repair shop replaced parts that didn't need replacing, since the insurance company was so crappy about paying the claim. DO NOT BUY BLACK CARS. It was 8 days old when it was hit.

Sounds like he has State Farm insurance, I had them when my truck was stolen in 2017. I had basic full coverage which had comprehensive coverage, and I asked if it covered theft when I purchased the coverage. The guy who stole it was caught driving it the very same day as i reported it just hours after he stole it, by then he had already removed the stereo, speakers, amplifier, and other personal items like my pool cue stick with custom carry case. It took Ft Worth police 3 weeks to let me know my truck was recovered and had been in impound for 3 weeks, I called State Farm to report what was lost and was told that nothing was covered not even the damage to the steering column. I dropped State Farm and now have insurance with The Hartford and all the coverage I was told I had with State Farm. I will never go back to State Farm again and avoid Progressive like the plague.

This advice is one of the problems with the country. The police and left want everyone to just be a willing victim that participates in the crime by doing nothing. When American men stopped going into the street to confront the problems, the wolf packs started to grow and increase their feedings. This trend started in the 90's and has grown to epidemic proportions. Now when a guy hears a problem on their street, they are too busy peeping out the blinds to fight for what is right and what is righteous. Good on this chap - he took a stand and refused to continue to be a victim, and he did it without bloodshed, though I am sure he was prepared for whatever resistance that may have been given. Politicians want us to be victims because it increases their power and their budgets. (60% of all crime is performed by the same 80% of criminals. The catch and release system of the judges and DA's only fortify their roles in government.) Choose not to be a victim if you are an able-bodied man.

Had a storage unit broken into and tools stolen. Deputy that showed on scene told me not to look for them. I actually recovered a fair amount just walking in the field near the fence that was cut. Thieves had dropped some in the grass. I get that most stolen property is simply going to disappear. Just the nature of the crime. But apparently walking 150 feet is just too much effort 🤦🏻

In a bad economy, a job as a cop could be something that entices people to apply. The famous quote, "that's why it takes 2 years to get a cosmetology license, but you can make the through the police academy in 6 months...". It doesn't take long to become a cop. And the salary can be pretty good. But cops and their refusal to police themselves turns off people from ever considering becoming cops.
