    Police don't care about stuff like this. Last two cars that were stolen off the lot, they didn't even send an officer out- they just took the incident report over the phone.

    As for insurance, I have a $1,000 deductible, so it wouldn't be worth it.

    Well- I have a quarter million dollars in coverage for my inventory. That would definitely be on the high side for an individual's auto insurance policy, but pretty reasonable for mine.

    same here........... i called to file a police report and they had an officer take it over the phone......... it went pretty much like this........

    cop - "so you had something stolen"

    me - "yes...... (details)"

    cop - "whats ur name, race, age and location"

    me - "Anthony, white, 28, (street address)"

    cop - "what did you say that race was again"

    me - "white"

    cop - "so what day did this happen"

    me - (answer)

    Cop - "you said white male correct?"

    me - "yes, why does it matter?"

    cop - "in case we need to get a hold of you"

    me - "ok?"

    cop - "where do you work and whats ur supervisor's phone number?"

    me - "why do you need to call anyone at my work?"

    cop -" in case we need to get in touch with you"

    me - "i carry a cell phone at work"

    Cop - "ok, ill look it up in the computer"

    me - "i dont want you to call my work for any reason, i carry a cell phone at all times"

    cop - "so you said white male, 28 years old and ur street address was ___________ "

    me - "correct"

    Then the cop proceeded to ask me directions to my address both at home and work, made some small talk about work and that was it........... not at any point did they ask me anything about anything that was stolen, they know im white though, and if they ever need to find me they'll call my work and ask for white guys.
