Police report submitted. I received a “notice to the victim” and she said that somebody will call me within 48 hours and I should avoid contaminating the area in case crime scene services decide to attend. Spooky. I’m going to see if I can convince my org to submit a property damage report for the broken walls, doors, and locks, but I doubt they will (they don’t like pressing charges as a general rule of thumb, I’ve seen kids damage 3x3m sections of wall, kick doors in, and try to torch houses and they still don’t call police.
I’m impressed with the police assistance line, the people I spoke to were very nice and understanding. I don’t have a very high impression of police, generally (although I don’t hate them). But every time I’ve called the PAL they’ve always been respectful and polite. Such a good service.
Is there any avenue for you to replace the high value items via insurance or something like that?
I’m sorry you’ve had to return to all the chaos but in the end as much as it hurts to lose material items, as long as you’re safe, that’s what’s most important.
