[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this story sounds outrageous primarily because the vic has been led to believe that her car is under surveillance and that there will be a forensic investigation done at some point. Too funny. [/quote]

What are you talking about? That’s exactly what will happen. Do you have a brain at all?[/quote]

MPD simply does not do bait car operations. They should, but they don't. So no there is no surveillance team tasked out to this car. [/quote]

Two things are different in this case. Because the car has Kanu installed, the owner will probably get an alert if the car is moved and can then let the police know. The police may even have direct access to the Kanu alerts. Second, since the crime was in MoCo, the car will be examined there and forensics might actually be done. [/quote]

I had a car stolen in DC last year. Car was missing for over six months. Car was eventually recovered having been destroyed and turned into a mobile drug lab. MPD were not interested in fingerprinting or doing any forensics because they would not be able to tell if the prints they found were the people responsible for stealing the car...

What... Who cares... How about identify any of them and then start an investigation. Pull the thread and see where it leeds.

The issue is that there is no auto theft task force so the most popular crime in DC takes time away from investigating any other crime. So it is considered a property crime for your insurance company to handle. [/quote]

Holy Crap! This is EXACTLY what happened to us 2 years ago. Down to it being turned into a mobile drug lab. Same exact response from MPD. How about if you took fingerprints from all stolen vehicles recovered? Think there might be a pattern? MMmmmm.

While we were incredibly frustrated by the 'police work', we didn't really blame the  officers. There is [b]no will[/b] to investigate car crimes in DC, whether in how resources are allocated or how the steps to investigate are crafted, and that is a failure from above.[/quote]
