Has anyone ever had their car broken into and called the police? They don't care at all and don't even come out to investigate. More time and resources should be spent on catching thiefs that actually have victims rather than having police catch them using bait cars, but that's just my opinion.

This is just blatantly not true. I called because I saw a neighbours car being broken into, police came out, caught the guys, took statements, etc. On a totally separate occasion a number of people had vehicles ransacked on our block and the police came to our door (at 4am nonetheless!) because one of ours was hit. Again, they took statements, and implored us to list anything stolen because if we didn't then they couldn't pin the stolen property on those they caught.
I totally understand that the police have much more important things to deal with, but to suggest that they somehow don't care or won't act is just plain wrong.
