Hey guys,
Not wanting to divulge too much information here as it is a public forum. My car was stolen recently and approximately 2 days later, the thief/burglar (probably his mates/gang) came back wanting to steal more (caught on CCTV). There was sign of forced opening of the garage door (probably third attempt).
(What’s funny was the police told me after the first incident that it’s unlikely they’ll return as they know we’ll be on “high alert”).
Police attended the scene on at least 2 occasions and didn’t do much apart from taking pictures and brief statement. I was told that it has been assigned to a detective.
Unfortunately, it has been 3 days since the first incident (car stolen) and after multiple emails which were sent to the detective, it seems that there’s no follow up or reply. What should I do?
Shouldn’t the detective call or follow up after the new (second) incident. Spoke to neighbour and they confirmed that they saw a suspicious person matching the guy who attempted to break in to my premises on that day. Police didn’t even take any statement.
Honestly, I’m disappointed and at a loss on what needs to be done as we fear for our safety.
Lastly, I’m planning to sign up for home security - would you guys recommend ADT or Chubb or RACV?
Thanks!
You can call to follow up with them. Aside from getting a security guard to sit out front there's not much you can do.
