Had the same thing happen to a friend, police told her if the items show up they might catch the burglar. Police are useless, she went out to pawn shops and found a lot of her things. She was able to retrieve some items but without police help whatsoever.
Police are indeed useless. I had a credit card theft and the police didn’t do a thing. I know it was an employee at HP who did it because charges started showing up right after we made an online purchase through their home website and I found out the IP was in CA. Ironically, they bought several hundred dollars from Apple. Neither the police nor Apple would do anything. BTW, I will never be a customer of HP or Apple.
