be useless anyway.
You get a job as a police officer and apply for forensics training.
What you believe has nothing to do with the reality of the situation.
You don't.
Good luck getting them. If I was one of your tenants, I certainly wouldn't give you my fingerprints.
You need to get over the fact that you're the victim of a theft, and move on with your life. Quit trying to play policeman and go back to your regular job.
No.
Please tell me how car insurance covers tools in the car? Unless something is a PART of the car, it's not covered by car insurance. Or at least that is what my insurance agent told me.
Duh. Did the OP have his tools stolen from a driveable car, or one that was in his back yard?
And, if the tools WERE stolen from a derelict car that was parked on his property, it WOULD have been covered on his homeowners insurance. And then, only maybe.

Have you considered a career in law enforcement?
Steve
So, this has happened to you in the past? How many times?
What did you learn from those experiences, Grasshoppa?

"Edwin Pawlowski" wrote the following laughable statement:
C'mon Ed. You know thieves are opportunists. The amateurs will snatch and grab from an open car. The industrious amateurs will use a prybar to open the truck toolbox. The pro will just take the whole truck.

While he's obsessing over a problem there's no solution for (that will be satisfactory to him, no doubt), the insurance he's speaking of is for the stolen property, the car...
"-- Insurance is VERY expensive.
-- a driver's license is VERY expensive. And almost impossible to get back if you lose it, which is very easy to do.
-- Training requirements to GET a driver's license are extensive, and a lot more than driving around a few barrels and markers as most places here are. And, they'll cost you a bundle, too. Lots and lots of taxes on such things. "
I got it Pop! The solution to traffic safety is to make everything very expensive and have lots and lots of taxes!
"You need an education for your misinformation. "
Seems like I have the info correct. Traffic safety on the autobahn is just fine, despite no speed limits on major portions of it. Proof positive that speed and the incidence of accidents on highways are not directly related. Even you seem to agree with this, listing a whole lot of reasons why the autobahn is safe that have nothing to do with speed. Maybe we should work on doing some of those things here. Not the tax and make things expensive part. But doing a better job of driver education and testing, getting after left hand dicks and people who drive unsafely would be a good start, instead of handing out easy speeding tickets to raise revenue.
According to that, then if we just took fifty American drivers to the Autobahn, and turned them loose, they would do fine. I suggest that in order to be fair, that each age group be represented, particularly those under 30.
That would be an interesting statistic. How the 25 drivers under 30 did versus the 25 over 30 years old.
Any predictions?
The younger ones would do better because of faster reflexes? The older ones wouldn't get out of the slow lane?
Steve
Exactly!!! Jesus, you're a dense one. You are required to have insurance (and proof of same in the vehicle). You don't have that?
Answer that simple question. Do you have insurance on THAT CAR, or not?
And what does that have to do with the requirement to have insurance on a vehicle?
Thank you Trader4. Exactly!
And yes Dan, I have insurance on every car that I own which I drive on public roads at the time that I drive it on the public roads. I did not drive that car to the police station. I left it as I found it untouched. I didn't grab the insurance card for it because I didn't know that I would need it. I am not some "stupid idiotic moron" because I didn't grab the insurance card.

Greetings,
The suspect database would be the tenants as they know about the tools in the trunk. This doesn't mean that a tenant did it -- but it would be a good place to start.
William
It is interesting that you say "she." Do you know it is a woman? Do you know what woman? Unless you know who it is likely to be, how do you think the police are going to know. You have a fingerprint. Great so where do you go from there? How do you connect that with a particular person? Most people have no fingerprints on file. That includes most people who do break ins. Even if you could find a match, then how do you find that person? Do you think it is really worth spending many thousands of dollars to find one kid who broke into your truck.
Get a life. You are not the only one. This is real life, not TV show life.
Sadly, I think that you are right. I have a lawyer friend that I will ask the next time I am with them.
No, but there's been several who've lost the box and all... :)

Oh, I'd think it is most likely simple in the BioAPI stuff, but it won't be of use for this purpose...the problem is there's no generally-accessible database and OP doesn't have a suspect database, either.
Here I am told that the pawn shops keep it for six months before putting it out to discourage people from finding it. They also put it out bit by bit. All the same I am going to look. I do engrave my tools and write my name with a marker. I don't think it is as helpful as people like to believe it is but I do it.
Terrific. Doing your own detective work can bear fruit. Most people seem to believe that I am wasting my time.
Agreed.
My point was if there was a telephone call from the lawyer to the police asking why nothing was done, the chances of something happening are far greater than a mere citizen questioning them.
Probably because they don't eat, talk on phones, read the paper, etc when driving on the autobahn. At least that's what I saw on the History Channel. . . .
For example, here in NJ, when they raised the speed : limit from 55 to 65 on major highways, they doubled the fines for : speeding. Think that was done for safety and not to take more hard : earned dollars for the political hacks to waste? ===> Yes. Take the time to look into the difference in damages and life/limb losses for accidents between 55 and 65 mph and you'll be quite surprised from the sound of your post. If you really want to get back at them, see how sound your therory is: Get everyone in NJ to not speed and see if it puts them out of work. By your logic, it should. NJ also isn't the only place that situation exists; those are federal speed limits.
And if speed kills, : how come the safety record of roads like the autobahn are better than : many of the roads in the US? ===> Having spent time there, and having driven the Autobahn, I can tell you why: They are professional drivers.
-- Insurance is VERY expensive.
-- a driver's license is VERY expensive. And almost impossible to get back if you lose it, which is very easy to do.
-- Training requirements to GET a driver's license are extensive, and a lot more than driving around a few barrels and markers as most places here are. And, they'll cost you a bundle, too. Lots and lots of taxes on such things.
The Autobahn isn't the only high-speed road in Europe: It's common all over, not just in Germany. In most places, ignoring right/left confusions:
-- first lane available is a 55 mph limit.
-- next lane is usually 75 or whatever that particular section of road is posted for.
-- Farthest lane over is for passing only. Well, at a 100 mph speed, you can pass plenty of cars real fast and I can tell you it's a party experience and you really get to feeling sorry for the car after a few miles of 90+, which they'll allow in a lot of places as long as you don't change lanes.
-- You can lose your license for something as simple as a lane change.
-- You can lose your license if a patrol sees you cause another driver to make their brake lights come on.
-- They're strict, people KNOW how to drive, pay well for the privilege, and respect the law, regardless of the reasons.
Not only that but the roads are as clean as a whistle over there; you can almost eat off them. There's never any debris on the road, never an uncovered truck, etc. etc. etc.. You might see a lot of radio-active trucks, but no uncovered gravel or garbage trucks .
They even provide side ramps for trucks should they lose breaks or wheels at a high speed when there isn't perfectly straight road ahead: It's a long, long incline, straight, easy to get onto, wide, and the slope increases as you go further along it. All along the way are back-places, to let the rigs roll into after it gets stopped if it can't hold itself on the grade. Oh, most of the ones I saw also ended in barricades, gravel, and some very rough terrain that nothing would roll back down anyway.
You need an education for your misinformation.

Greetings Dan/Steve,
a) I have insurance on the car. b) I did not have proof of insurance when I went to make the report -- didn't know I needed it. c) Dan said "Your proof of insurance should ALWAYS be in the car, dipshit." which has several things wrong with it. i) Cars don't always need insurance- only the ones you currently drive or park on street. You shouldn't lose your right to police protection for uninsured cars in your garage or off street. The breakin happened while the car was parked off street so I should not, in my opinion, have been turned down because I could not produce insurance. ii) I wasn't driving the broken into car when I went to make my report iii) Dan is needlessly abrasive and rude -- to many people, not just me. d) I want to know why should the police refuse to take a report if I cannot produce car insurance (from Dan who appears to believe this is acceptable)?
