My brother's car was stolen outside of his apartment. He suspects his Latino neighbors that live upstairs since there are so many of them in one apartment. Do police ever question neighbors or do criminal background checks on them? Or, do they merely check abandoned cars/ cars used in crimes/ cars during traffic stops to see if they've been stolen? We should have one cop per block, I think. That's how bad this world has become and especially in the Metropolitan areas.

They come out and take a report of the inciudent, and the stolen car is on a "hot list" , which patrol units in the field can check out by radio, or by computer.

The police can not question the neighbors just because they are Latino and live in crowded conditions. They can ask them if they saw anything because they live there and may have been in a position to witness something as would any neighbor regardless of race. A criminal background check would be useless. It may tell us that someone has a history of stealing cars but it doesn't do anything to prove they did it this time. Most stolen cars are found abandoned or as a result of motor vehicle stops. The police do get a daily "hot sheet" of recently stolen, local motor vehicles but with so many cars on the road and so many being stolen it's hard to stay on top of them. My advice to anyone concerned about having their car stolen is to invest in a physical locking device like the club or an ignition cut off. It will not stop a professional thief but it does deter the joyriders. Fortunately there are not that many true pros's out there. A tracking system of some type like Lojack or OnStar helps too. It won't stop the car from getting stolen but I have yet to see a car that has one not get recovered.

maximum belongings crimes are very difficult to do something with. This company approximately fingerprints is exceptionally lots BS. you should income the prints with somebody. Do you have any thought how many human beings touch your automobile? You, each and every member of your loved ones, all your persons, a number of your enimies, coworkers, the guy on the gas station, etc. Too many human beings to envision with constrained materials. maximum belongings crimes are solved by using detectives observing traits. the place are the crimes being committed, while are the crimes happening, what's being taken, the place is the stolen stuff showing up, what approaches are getting used to scouse borrow, are there any criminals on checklist who use those approaches, etc. as quickly as you will discover the trend you will discover the offenders. It does take extremely some time and staying power. some situations we can shorten the technique by using an inovative sting operation. yet those are high priced, confusing to establish, and much extra stable to run. The video?? probably ineffective. I in no way have understood why a financial company could installation cameras with such low decision that the photograph is so grainy you cann't even tell what race the guy is. in case you have been fortunate and your financial company extremely takes their secure practices heavily, the detectives are going via archives searching for the criminal. it is not like the television/movie the place they slip the photograph into some style of gadget and the laptop pops out an identity. some detective is sitting in a room with quite a few hundred photographs attempting to examine the photograph.
