This is from a friend of mine a few weeks ago.
His Yeshiva was broken into a few months back. None of the guys realized it until the next week when they were broken into again, at around the same time. They investigated, and found that he thief used one of their credit cards on Shabbat at a local 7-11. They reported all this to the police, and the police said "oh, someone in your school must have done it". The police said that a robbery to them is "low priority".
That would have been impressive, if true because it means he would had to have run off when no one was looking, broken into his own dorm (and thereby violated the Sabbath) and morphed himself into looking into someone else. They know this because the 7-11 gave them the video of the thief. The thief also dropped someone elses cell phone into their home in one of the burglaries. The pics he took of himself matched the video from the store. They returned the phone to the original owner, whose home was also broken into. From the browser history they also got more information on the guy.
A few weeks later, they saw police questioning the thief, and they ran up to them. They were all like "this guy probably broke into our dorms again, and we have proof he did it before". They ran home, confirmed the place had been broken into again, ran back to where the cops were, and they had already let the guy go.
Worse than useless.
