Reply to comment by Real-Pierre-Delecto2 in Please Help identify the person that stole my purse in Burlington, King Street. by jolitabrilliant

I 100% filed a police report online when I got into a car accident. The police themselves told me to file online 🙄

Small fender bender sure no major injury sure but honestly tell me if someone broke into your car moments ago and took your wallet id's keys etc you would just leave that info online? She supposedly ran into work for a sec and this just happened. That's a crime in progress not for an online complaint that could take days to see. For all we know these photos are from some other state and she is stalking this dude.

Filing online wouldn’t be my first choice, but it sounds like it wasn’t hers, either. She called the police and they told her to file online. They have done the same to two of my friends who had their homes broken into as well. I’m not saying her claim is accurate, but filing online is def what they tell you to do now

Dude the BPD website clearly states not to do so "Theft (NOT from a house, apartment, or business by an intruder)". Nor is it for in progress crimes. Why you simping?

I’m relaying my experience.

The car theft in the OP wouldn’t be considered an in-progress crime either way.

Huh? Try calling Burlington police and the promt says for any theft to file online I also fine in person to poly e but they didn’t have any officer to talk to in person. Go to Kinney on Shelburne rd and ask if they guy was there, I have no reason to make this up- you are delusional
