Burglary Investigation

There is nothing worse or more shocking then coming home and finding that your home has been burglarized. The expensive high end items that you have worked so hard to get as well as the priceless irreplaceable family heirlooms like dads watch or your mothers wedding ring all gone. And what about the hidden safe that was ripped out of the wall. The monetary and emotional loss as well as the actual physical damage to your home are very upsetting to say the least and what about that very un-nerving thought that your privacy and security has been violated. The recovery process from such an event can be a long and frustrating experience.

Of course the first thing to do is to call the police. Most police departments are staffed with very professional highly trained officers and investigators who do a remarkable job considering all the obstacles that they must tolerate on a daily bases. One of the more common problems encountered by the police detective is called “case load”. As a former burglary detective it was not uncommon to have 20 to 30 open active investigations. That problem persists today. The worst thing that can happen to any investigation is for it to go “cold”. Meaning the investigation for whatever reason has not or cannot be actively worked. When the case becomes dormant it becomes more difficult to work, leads have disappeared along with witnesses. The stolen property has changed hands or even destroyed as in the case of jewelry which is usually taken to a “fence” who after paying the thief simply melts down the ring and resets the stones into other pieces.
