Woke up this morning to find my passenger window smashed out and spare change stolen from the car. Police couldn't be bothered because the value of items stolen wasn't over $1000. Really NHPD?! Property vandalized and stolen and you can't be bothered because it's not going to cost me enough to have it repaired and replaced? Thanks for nothing. Maybe if the police actually "policed" neighborhoods and did something about car break ins, the number of incidents would decline. Thieves won't be deterred if they know no one is going to do anything about it.

Ok, see, THAT makes more sense. You were never TOLD they don't care, what you were told was to take an inventory of what was taken and call back so they could do a report over the phone and give you a case number which you would then give to your insurance company, as is the policy set by THE SWORN POLICE DEPT (again, thanks LT, love the way you toss them right under that bus without any follow up on someone's very vague and inaccurate information). You felt an officer should respond and did not like the answer you were given, so that has to mean no one cares. I feel I should be 5'9" and 135lbs, this doesn't make it so.
And of course, you FORGOT to say you actually had a pleasant and positive experience with an employee. I'm sure that was just an oversight on your part, of course you would only remember the bad (in your opinion) because that is what always sticks out in a person's memory.
I'm sorry you had your car broken into and items stolen, it is a terrible thing to wake up to. It's frustrating and highly annoying to begin your day this way, but honestly, the people who are attempting to help you are not at fault and shouldn't be blamed for your terrible morning.
Maybe if you call the LT directly on his cell phone next time he can offer to do the report for you himself? Oh wait, he doesn't give that out does he?
See, I've had my car broken into also. I live only a few blocks away from you, and although I ultimately blame the person who did the actual breaking in, I also blame myself. I left my cellphone on the charger because I lost the house charger and my phone was almost dead. I also had several shopping bags in the back seat (this happened just before Christmas) as I couldn't carry everything at once. I was being lazy and didn't go back out to get the bags thinking I'll get them when I get my phone. I was practically begging to get robbed. Thing is, I didn't blame the police dispatchers and I certainly didn't expect them to send a cop or fingerprint CSI my car, especially on a Saturday night at 10 at night. Truthfully, they have much more important things to do than to look at the empty space where my window used to be.
I wish we could hear your actual calls and exactly what was said, not your version of it. Although I'm sure your second post was closer to the truth.
Again, I'm sorry this happened to you. For your sake and for the sake of the dispatchers I hope it doesn't happen again.

First and formost, nowhere in my original post did I ever say that I was told "we don't care" or "too bad" by the original dispatcher. But I was also never told that I could file a report over the phone. The original dispatcher told me to call back "if what was stolen was valued at more than $1000", not "call us back either way and we'll file the report" I was unaware of the police departments policy on car break-ins as, shockingly, this is the first time it's happened to me in the 22 years I've been hanging out in or living in New Haven. And as originally stated, I feel that if the neighborhoods were policed more (and later than 11:00, as most break-ins seem to happen overnight) and there was more done about them, it would make sense that they would decline. And my original post was written before my pleasant experience with dispatcher number 2 hence the lack of mention.
