Hmmm. The article indicates a broken window, and further ‘medical and forensic evidence’. If the broken window was the point of access, it might indicate that a lot of the cuts sustained by the alleged intruder could be traced to the broken glass. That fact would change the entire scenario. It then becomes ‘much ado about nothing’.
Have you ever had to can the police to report something like this?
I have never had to can a police officer. But I have called the police after the fact, the next morning, just to establish a case number for the insurance claim. There is absolutely no evidence they can collect that is meaningful, it is a waste of their time to show up. The ones that break in always wear gloves, and there is no useful evidence they can use to track down the culprit. They need to catch them in the act, or shortly after if they still have anything they stole that can be identified.
