Comment on How often do thieves (and identity thieves) actually get caught and served justice? Are there actual examples of law enforcement actually doing anything? (Because I think most cops are just lazy)

Cops have no reason to put forth effort unless you're at least locally important or someone above leans on them to make their numbers/look like they're doing something.

Also is it "justice" to put someone in jail? Let's say there's no way to return what was stolen (money spent, property sold/destroyed etc). It certainly doesn't stop them from doing more crime, it tends to force them into doing more bc it makes them less hirable and more economically desperate. It doesn't make your situation any better either. It's just more money for the prison companies.

Tbh I kinda just gave up on trying to have to deal with cops. A driver stole my laptop that he was supposed to deliver, I just simply call the store (BestBuy) and told them I never got it, if the corporations want to deal with that thieving scumbag of a driver, its their problem, I just want my money back (or just chargeback if they refuse to refund), I don’t feel like wasting time with cops that will do nothing anyways, especially if the refund happens, then I would technically not be out anything (besides wasting a bunch of time).

It’s BestBuy’s fault for using something as sketchy as DoorDash.
