Why was property crime much higher back then? We’re at historic lows.

When the cops don’t show up to take a report it doesn’t show up in crime report statistics.

Do you have data backing that up? The data is all FOIA-able like calls to the police department and dispatch data.

There's also insurance claim data which requires a police report.

Does FOIA data include how many calls the police don't pick up? I've literally never gotten an answer when calling my local PD's non-emergency number

When it's widely perceived that the police don't care about property crime, people don't call the police in the first place.

This is backwards. Do you have data to prove that police are responding to all stolen property reports?

In San Francisco I didn't need the cops to show up to file a report--I filled it out online! It's easier than ever to file a report these days.
