From Andrew's link:
"If you recognize this man or see someone wearing similar clothing in your area, please call 911 or report anonymously on your phone"

About 10 years ago there was a poster on this forum who bought a bike for commuting to work. The bike was stolen. The thief told the police the owner gave it to him, and the police walked away. The owner went with some friends and took his bike back. When the cops take that attitude, one wonders how long before no one will cooperate with them.

Mind you, just down the road from Jay, in Eugene, OR, the cops tell the citizens they can't be bothered with property crimes because the citizens don't give them enough money... That sounds rather like the tulumbadschi (a sort of eastern mafia centred on the fire service) in Turkey who would start fires so that they could be called and demand a bribe before they put out the fire.
