Twice a victim

I am a little disgusted with our police departments lack of followup on victimless crimes.

I am a little disgusted with our police departments lack of followup on victimless crimes.

About four months ago my vehicle was broken into and several items, including my wallet, were stolen. The criminals used my credit cards at several locations that had video surveillance of the person and their vehicle that was used.

I have notified the Kent Police Department twice in writing that there is video surveillance of the crimes at different businesses. I would at least appreciate a phone call from an officer telling me that they do not have the resources to investigate felony crimes. Instead my emails are ignored with no response.

Oh, but I do feel better seeing they have time for speed traps and ticket writing. Just a call would be nice.
