    My job was broken in to. They sent a detective. He looked around and told us there was basically zero chance he’d catch the guy.

    I found a cigarette butt outside. He said “It could be anybody”. I said “nobody here smokes”. He said “even if it’s his, there’s little chance it’s a DNA match.”

    To his credit, the detective took the cigarette butt and tested it. There was a DNA match to a guy living in our small town who’d been in jail three times for robbery meaning the cops knew exactly who he was and what he did for a living but weren’t doing anything to stop him.

    When they went to his house they found everything of ours that he couldn’t sell.

      Cops are just next level lazy pieces of shit in my experience. They average six figure salaries in most cities. They just fucking sit around and eat donuts. Act like your a piece of shit for even suggesting they do their jobs.
