Do you report a vehicle break-in to police?

Or are they just not interested! It's the first time it's actually ever happened to us - late on a Sunday night, glass everywhere, and the insurance company isn't open now - of course!

of course you do! You never know your chances.

It is often a requirement of the insurance company. Don't give them any chance to wriggle out of paying.

Even if not a lot happens in the way of individually investigating your incident, it always helps towards piecing together the activities of their known regulars. When ever you see media reports of someone getting done for burglary or car jobs it's invariably for a high number of offenses. Doesn't matter what your chances are of any kind of 'result', your chances are zero if you don't report it.

Done! The police were actually very nice and helpful. We had our house broken into the Christmas before last, and now this. The kids reckon we're cursed!

Just call police and say neigbour has a loud stereo,, they will come straight away, and then show them the break in while they there.
