I agree with much of what has been said on both sides of the issue. There is not really a good answer. At the end of the day, sometimes life just sucks, and life isn’t fair. Sometimes some pretty serious stuff just happens.
One thought though. Calling the police usually amounts to just about nothing. I have first hand experience in multiple instances regarding theft of the police’s, either unwillingness or understaffed-ness to do anything at all. Both in CA and in MN. They tend to view the victim of a robbery as just a pain in their butt. A report to write for the stats that just goes down the memory hole.
