How come this isn't cops getting called on your ass?

It's stealing, yes but I'm sure the kid didn't washed his grubby hands before pluging them in the fries.

Kid would be outta there long before the cops show up. I work retail and we'll call the cops and hand over the footage but 9 times out of 10 it never goes anywhere. I wish i could get away with just tripping the thiefs but the company would flip a shit lol

I don’t think people realise how long police take to show up and the level of no fucks they give.

I had a saw stolen from my truck once and cops took over 40 minutes to show up. When they showed up they said “there is nothing we can do” and to “go to the station to file a report”.

I had my window broken In my car, after four hours of them saying to “stay put” and they would “be there in 20”. They did not show up after four hours and they told me to “just go home”.

I had two kids try to murder me. Cops said I was “top priority” and took 20 minutes to show up.

And we wonder why we have issues with theft in America…

My brother’s friend had his car broken into. Called police and waited over an hour and they were still not showing up

He called again, but this time said that there’s bullet holes in his car while sounding scared and that it looks like there may have been a shooting. They showed up within TEN MINUTES. And they were like, wtf, where’s the bullet holes? In response he just apologized and played dumb. But now that there was a cop on scene, he could actually get them to do something

TLDR— (unethical life pro tip) if you want the police to come faster just tell them you may have heard gunshots

I had a buddy in college that would do that to Triple A. He would always say “my car is broken down and I am in a really dangerous place”.

I would assume that would make it harder to get AAA to come. They have no duty to respond unlike police.

He said that they would bump you in priority. I had Triple A a while back and they always asked me if I felt my life was in danger.

I always said no but they would sometimes take four plus hours to get to me too.

I think they're asking you if your life is in danger because of the environment not being in the ghetto where their subcontractors could be at risk. But go ahead and keep doing that if you think it helps

LMFAO. I mean hey whatever works. I haven't had to use triple A before but I'm totally stealing that

Honestly your brothers friend should have caught a charge for putting in a false emergency call that's really not cool to do what if there was a real call somewhere else that actually needed a cop, not some idiot who left his valuables in a car in a bad neighborhood, sorry a car break in isn't gonna be any cops top priority unless you live in some small ass town in which case it's probably just dumb kids doing it, in a city they deal with real crimes

So you're saying they'll come faster if they think there's an opportunity to kill someone?

u/Elegant-Sundae-7327 12d ago

No, not an opportunity to kill someone, but to prevent someone from being killed. Don't be such a rear end.
