Welp, perhaps demand better from your elected officials.

I live in a town. A few years ago, I had my car broken into with my bag and laptop stolen. Cops took fingerprints and forensics, found a match in a database, visited the suspect, arrested him (as he couldn't explain why his fingerprints was in my car), searched, found, and reclaimed my property.

I had a bunch of equipment stolen from a car in Mountain View and the lazy cops just dropped the case.

Those guys probably went on to steal more shit from someone else.
