I would report it to the police because the insurance companies wont pay out without a crime reference number. I wouldn't be holding my breath for the stolen item to be returned though.

but i am afraid that reporting to the police is just a waste of time:it wont work!especially when you lose your samll amount of possessions,i dont think the police would take time to look into the case~~~ do you think police can help us out the embarrassing situation? all the best

I wouldn't really expect the thief to be caught or the property returned but, if I was able to give my insurance company a reference number to prove the theft had been reported, they would at least pay out for a replacement. Without that reference number, they wouldn't.

i am very fortunate not to have any such experience. But if i ever come across events like that. I definately would protect myself first, which is to make sure i'll not get hurt in any way. Then i'll call the police to track down the evil guys.

i hope every one will not have such kind of experience,hehe ~~~i hate those who robs or steals~~~i am eager to wish that all those people would be caught by the police! certaily personal safty is much more important than the possessions~~~~i think it is wise to do in the way as you mentioned above~~

I lost my wallet once in the street. I don't know what to do. I'm just tankful that it only contains $5, not too much,huh? Well, if i go to the police i only waste my time. I just ignore it.

hehe,i should say that you were "lucky" to just lost 5 dollars~~~ however,no matter how little we lost,we would surely feel upset and sad (at least for a certain period of time)~~~ i also dont think it works a bit for us to turn to the police~~~what we can do is to be more carefull next time,hehe~~
