I’m in the US and honestly I’ve just kinda just accepted this as a fact of life, cops won’t do shit, similar to many developing nations in the world. Anything short of actually someone dying, and cops don’t seem to care. Got mugged? Oh well, tough luck buddy, at least you didn’t die

How has your experience been? Is your country/area different?

    Northern Europe. Shots fired in my neighborhood. Cops rolled up a dozen strong, with bulletproof shields, and searched for the shooter for hours.

    OTOH: bike stolen. Police said, unless you have the frame number there’s nothing we can do. And even if you had, very little. They did take my report though.

    I bought a much bigger/harder lock immediately, and it hasn’t happened since.

    Never been burgled.
