Today, I saw my car being broken into on the street below my apartment. Too scared to stop them myself, I called the police. Before I could even tell them what was going on, they put me on hold. It was a good 5 minutes before I realized they'd hung up on me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I hit a parked car and fled because I was so scared. Four hours later, the cops showed up at my house so I broke down crying confessing everything. Turns out, they weren't there about the car I hit. They were alerting me about the string of burglaries in my neighborhood recently. FML
Today, I awoke to the sound of my neighbors attacking my car with a baseball bat accusing me of calling the cops on them. I did call the cops on them, after they screamed at me last night, drunkenly, to call the cops for them because they thought they were being robbed. FML
Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, the police called because someone had turned in my wallet that was stolen. I happily drove home only to find that my house had been robbed and ransacked. FML
Today, at the gas station I work a lady called wanting to know the "password" and if I was okay. Thinking it was a prank I hung up. A couple of minutes later she called back, this time asking if I could see the cops outside and telling me I'd be alright. I saw four of 'em. I'd hit the silent alarm by accident. FML
Today, my car got stolen. While I was standing ten feet away from it. FML
Today, the police came to my door and told me about a woman who called the cops on me because she said that I had been following her in my car. We were on the highway. FML
Today, I accidentally locked my car and house keys along with my phone in my car. Then I had to break into my own house looking for the spare. Someone called the police and I had to explain that I lived there. I forgot to grab the spare when I went to talk to the police officers I locked the door behind me. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. After being upset for not hearing my car alarm go off I realized it had in the middle of the night. I had woken up and cursed the idiot who set off their alarm and put a pillow over my head, falling back to sleep shortly after. FML

This is really upsetting. You could have been in a life threatening situation. A life may have been lost due to the stupidity of people we are supposed to rely on

Try to get them to do something again, and if they don't simply turn to the local government's arch-nemesis: your local news station. They live off of stories like this.

The cops were busy watching 'Cops'. They're really letting themselves go.

I think you kinda deserve it at least yell at them to stop or say the police is on there way or something

Cops are here just to arrest people, not to protect. You can google that. I had someone who tried to break into my house, so I called. They said they would be there in an hour.

This is a good reason why people need to hold some responsibility for their safety.

People shoudn't be responsible for stopping thugs steal a car. That's why we have the police. It's their job to stop them.

Why the **** are people saying "why didn't you yell at them? Why didn't you confront them?". He could have been armed! Honestley, why risk your life for a car? Yes, they are expensive. But is it worth your life? I think he did the right thing.

And our crooked politicians want confiscate our firearms and rely on the police instead.... While I wouldn't confront a car thief and would have called police. There are situations where police cant help right away. And that is where you need a gun.
