    There are. I live just outside police jurisdiction. My neighbor got his truck stolen and called the police, they said “Sorry, can’t help ya, call the sheriff.” He called the sheriff’s office and got a recording that they are only open Wed-Thurs-Fri, 12pm to 4pm, that he could leave a message and expect to hear back then (it was Saturday).

    He had video of the thieves and the car they showed up in, including license plate and clear shots of their faces. Sheriff said “Well, it’s been five days, they probably ditched that car by now, not much we can do.”

      That’s insane, and incredibly infuriating.

      Your neighbour must be pissed.
