If you don't know the name and address of the person who committed the crime. The police might come round, take a statement (only if you saw them doing it, not if you heard them doing it, and saw them run away), give you a crime report leaflet, and about a week later send you a letter saying they have finished their investigation.
I know they give you a crime report number, which can be useful if you claim on insurance, but if you claim , the insurance goes up, so there is no purpose for claiming, because you pay it all back with increases premiums.

Over 20 years of problems, video evidence given to the police, they knew the names and addresses of several, they have never charged any one, we never got even 1p back in compensation.
For most problems police are useless.

For statistics. If you have noticed we are a reactive society.
So if so many crimes are reported in an area you may notice the police patrols go up.

You would be quite surprised how many crimes are actually solved after a time. Just because an investigation is finished doesn't mean the crime is not still on file.
Quite often a criminal is brought in for something that he knows he is going to jail for so and he will want to clear up everything in one sitting, so its not going to come back and get him possibly later
So he will say things like "About six months ago I broke into a house in...... It was a two storey house and I stole a computer and some jewelry."
If its not on record it cant be linked.
Also, stolen property turns up at search warrants on criminals houses, but if it hasn't been reported, then no one can trace it back.
If you are talking about "person" crime like assaults, muggings etc. Its worth reporting it for statistics so more patrols can be done in that area, or more staff allocated to that station

Marrakesh is really a city that sums up all Morocco's spectacular North African appeal, see it with hotelbye . The city's title offered the root for the title of the country itself, spelling out that town's importance down the ages. Within the bustle of the town core you'll find previous and new clashing and mixing, which could make some tourists nearly dizzy. Snake charmers and clean shop touts equally contend for your attention amid a noisy, vivid bustle that encapsulates Morocco's lively soul. For most guests, Marrakesh's labyrinth Medina (Old City) area is the town's star attraction. The narrow alleyways certainly are a kaleidoscope of colours, smells and sounds. Is bound to be the sightseeing spotlight of one's trip; along with the merely wandering is meant to vibrant maze.

Absolutey pointless. four years ago, some tried to enter our house while I was at work, but the rest of the family were at home, about 11.30 pm. the guy had an iron bar, all captured on my cctv camera. My dog was going bananas at this thug trying to enter my property, while the wife phoned 999.
The dog seemed to deter the thug, and he walked off the property muttering ' I be back later'
Still to this date, the police have not turned up at our house.
They just phoned back about an hour later saying they had arrested a person with mental health problems. How they knew it was the same person I don't know.
Turned out some of the neighbours gripped him while trying to break into a car, not the police.

Maybe the police feel the same way we do they catch a criminal only to have him back on the street in days. Even Murder gets a light sentence. So may they feel whats the use

Reporting a crime will allow the policemen to investigate and identify the culprit.

They are there to write reports, direct traffic, hand out tickets, chomp on donuts, violate civil rights and take our taxes into their hefty wallets
