Disappointed with police attitude towards car theft


AS a police retiree, it pained me to read the article “If only cops had acted on my report, another theft could have been avoided!” (The Star, Jan 19), published online as “Frustration of losing your car and perils of getting it back” (https://bit.ly/3iQqgze).

According to the aggrieved person, he made two police reports – one on June 19, 2022 and another a few days later – on the loss of his vehicle, only to be told that the matter was not classified as a crime and that he should refer it for civil action.
