On over $19,500 worth of wire being stolen from my shop and residence. They have yet to send anybody out to fill out a written report. I've contacted them now 5 times and each time they say they're going to send somebody out, but have yet to do it. I've even left three messages with our sheriff himself but he has never returned any of my calls. Any suggestions?

Lori B: I went to the station today and supposedly nobody was there to take my report. Even though there were three patrol cars in the parking lot.

Each city has an independent investigator that his sole job is to investigate reports against law enforcement.
Weather it's individuals who file, or it could be a police shooting.
What I would recommend you do, is call the sheriff's office again, as well as the sheriff tell them you are calling for the 6th time, you want a police officer sent to your place of business to file a theft report. Tell them you will be forced to contact your Omsbudman and will be filing a complaint against the sheriff's office is you do not have a response immediately.
If you do not get the satification you feel you deserve (weather the Deputy shows or not) I would recommend you determine if you need to file a report with your local Omsbudman.
If they show up and you do not feel satifaction they I would strongly advise you to file with the Omsbudman.

Get a lawyer and/or find out the next rung up the ladder is and file a complaint...if unknown, file a complaint with Attorney General in your State (most States, this can be done online). Also, file a claim with your business insurance if you have not already done so as they will pursue the matter to the fullest extent if they end up having to payout on a business policy (and most insurance companies have deeper pocket than you likely have to pursue the matter).
Get together copies of invoices/statements showing what you ahve paid for the wire that was stolen and dates that you have contacted the Sherriff's Dept.

Go to the station and file a report.Then write or call your Representative and Senator and Report this Sheriff.He needs to be held accountable for not doing his job.
Good Luck.
