I've been a victim of a B&E involving about US$10,000 in losses, mostly stereo equipment and sports collectibles All replaceable stuff really, except that all the movies of my kids growing up were in the same box as the CDs. That's a senseless loss that is hard to get over. But, even then, I had to realise that people suffer floods, hurricanes and fires all the time and I should get that loss in perspective.

Another point I learned from the police ... they've got more serious things to investigate than my insurable losses.

If you want to get the police involved in your case, just be aware that the time they spend discussing home security with you is time they should be spending preventing crimes, not solving your mystery.

I'm sympathetic to your feelings, but the cops see a lot worse every day and they won't be.
