One thing I learned is stolen vehicles are zero priority for the police these days. It took three days before a community officer was even available to file a report. The online report system was non-functioning. I’m not throwing rocks at the cops here, I suppose they are busy with bigger stuff these days, but yeah ....

Sorry to hear about the stolen truck, I’ll sure keep my eyes open for anything surrounding that. Good luck with getting her back.....

Three days to file a report?!?!?! I am a cop, and I file my stolen vehicle reports IMMEDIATELY when I respond to the call. I enter them as "stolen" into NCIC within five minutes of taking the report.
In my state stealing vehicles is dangerous for the thief. Here in SC, any citizen may shoot and kill a fleeing thief, burglar, or person in act of felony that they catch AT NIGHT in the act. Said citizen is completely immune from all civil and criminal prosecution as well.
