the manager said sometimes lost things suddenly reappear, and the porters who work in the library after hours sometimes find them in the garbage or whatever.

I just don't understand why they would take the oldest and most broken laptop in the entire building
they screwed me over for something the pawn shops won't take!

the cop didn't even want to take my report because it's not worth much (resale) but it's worth a lot to me, hence the reward offer

Whaaa? Somebody STOLE your stuff, taking a report is in their job description!

I hope it works! Stupid police.

allbutspeechless: he was pretty condescending, and he scoffed twice.

I called the police right after it was stolen, and they said they'd call back and take the report over the phone. I waited 8 hours, then called again and got Officer Douche

Girl, no. I'd be filing a complaint so fast.

I was thinking of putting a letter on Reddit or something but I haven't a clue how to use Reddit

I have an account, but I'm a lurker, lol. Where is Kess? kesseret, come teach your girl how to Reddit!

It's more of having no idea where to put it in the eleventy thousand sub reddits.
I'd probably get pulled or reprimanded by a moderator or something.

um that's an interesting question, i know from experience if a citizen files a complaint on an officer they won't ever hear an answer but the officer will get his ass chewed privately

as for reddit, it's tech not a legal advice, but there is a law enforcement subreddit, I don't hang there.

surprisingly subreddits have info on the side with rules, and mods aren't quick to ban for mistakes unless you hang out in like /r/TheDonald or some drama filled subreddit
