Someone Stole Charles Espenlaub’s Helmet

"Police have officially closed the case" How in the holy berk do you close a case if the helmet's not back with it's rightful owner? Crooked ash people everywhere. Maybe a cop stole the helmet.

In reply to ncjay:

I believe that basically just means a Police report has been filled but there is no further official action to reasonably be taken. As far as I'm aware, that's standard operating procedure in simple theft cases where there are no actual leads to pursue. What exactly would be the advantage in maintaining a backlog of open case files for every single unsolved (and mostly unsolvable) minor crime ever reported?

How much do ypu want to bet that police didn't do anything to investigate. That is SOP. Ive seen innumerable times they've blamed the victim. Asshats.

What the berk do you expect the Police to do. It's a freeking helmet, There are millions of helmets and hundreds and hundreds of thousands in fancy color schemes. Put it in a helmet bag or any bag and it's invisible. What grounds do they have for searching every helmet sized bag in the country?

I expect them to make an honest attempt. You know, speak with people, look at video, etc.

They put less effort into these than they do traffic stops.

Or donuts

I guess you know everything about the cops in Amsterdam.
