Um, hello?
Hi, I mean, good morning, Officer Mills.
Yes?
I'm here to report a crime.
I mean, a robbery, a theft.
All my tools got stolen.
Here's the form.
Fill it out and submit it to me at the desk when you're done.
That's it?
I thought, I mean, doesn't someone go out and investigate or something?
Your report will be reviewed by an officer within 24 hours.
You may be contacted for additional information and you will receive an email or letter explaining the status of your report.
Once approved, your report goes to the Police Services Records Management System and there may or may not be an investigation.
Oh.
Here, all the dates should be day, month, year.
Okay?
You must write your name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.
No nicknames.
Here, write your SIN.
And phone number should include area code.
It's important to give the dates and times as exactly as you can.
Write down when you last saw your property and the date and time you noticed it was missing.
At the bottom here, give a list of the property that was taken and a detailed description.
Descriptions should include make, model, size, colour, and serial number.
Here, write how much they're worth.
Add up the total here.
Here, in the victim statement section, give a general report of how the property was stolen.
Wow, what if I don't have all this information right now, like serial numbers and stuff?
You can take the form with you and submit it to us later.
Can you take a quick look and make sure I'm doing this right?
Let me see.
This is your home address?
That's not in this county.
The theft occurred at my workplace—Bear Bottom Campground.
Doesn't matter.
You can pick up a report form at any station, but you have to submit it in the same county as where the theft occurred.
But Bear Bottom Campground is in Maskwa County, so you can submit it here.
What's this name?
I can't make out the spelling.
Amy?
Amos?
Ames.
Kerry Ames.
That's my boss.
I left his number there just in case you need to get a hold of him.
Or me, I guess.
And the tires of the truck were slashed?
Yeah, all four of them.
My boss is furious.
That's a different form.
Vandalism and destruction of property.
Here.
Have you called your insurance yet?
No, but I think they need a police report.
I figured I'd do this first.
Do you usually catch the people that do this sort of thing?
We might get the guy.
We might not.
But your tools are probably long gone.
Oh.
Okay, I tell you what.
Leave this with me and get me a list of your property.
I'll fax it off to the Trade and Sell Pawn Shop, and they can keep a lookout.
Really?
I have a nephew about your age and you seem like a nice kid.
Thanks.
Remember to lock your doors and don't leave stuff in your vehicle.
Smarten up.
Yes, ma'am.
Thanks again.
