Reply to comment by finalremix in Got rear ended this morning 9am with car full of kids, driver fled the scene, but cops gave ME a hard time. by OceanAvenue187

My car was stolen in Hoboken and the cops insisted that if I didn’t see somebody steal it I have no proof it was stolen. It was just a “missing” car...

It’s still missing to this day, 10 years later.

I've had Hoboken police tell me how they've been informed to juke the stats like that, and I've had old family tell me it's longstanding. Ever since ~2000 they want to pretend there's no crime there and it is a post-grad playground.

If they didn't take your statement and file a report, you could've sued the department.
