I hadn't heard from the detective that was working on the break in of my truck since December 12....when he told me that he had gone to the lady's house & she didn't know anything about her water bill being paid, nor the kids shoes being purchased. He said she didn't know anyone that worked at the Motel 6....denied everything & he said she sounded like she was up front about it.

He said he was going to get the sopena to get the information about the 2 phone bills that were paid to crickett com & was going to talk to the clerk at the Motel 6 that checked me in & stole my ID information off my credit card & drivers license.

That was the last I heard from the detective. I had called a few times & got no response. Well, I called over the weekend & he called me back yesterday. I asked him if he had gotten the sopens for the information & he said he had a pile of paperwork, but didn't get any sopena.....& there was a reason why, but he didn't know...he would have to look through the pile of paperwork......why wouldn't he get that sopena to get the information????? Why wasn't he doing his job....did they refuse to give him the sopena & why was the Albuquerque police department stopping that information that might lead to the person who stole my flute? He had gone to talk to the clerk at the Motel 6, but he wasn't there at the time & just hadn't gone back to talk to him.

I told the detective that there was no way that the information could have been taken by anyone else than the guy Michael that was working there that night....there was no one else in the motel at that time of night. Why hadn't he gone back & talked to him....why didn't he find out where he lived & go there to talk to the guy?

WHY ISN'T HE DOING HIS JOB????!!!!! I AM SO ANGRY, WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW ANGRY I AM!!!!!!! And I told him so. He told me he hadn't closed the case...he better not close the case....he hasn't done any work on it...I was the one that got him all the leads..all he did was go & talk to the lady & hasn't done anything else with all the rest of the leads & information he has. The police are the most incompetent bunch of jerks I have ever encountered in my life....& this isn't the first time this has happened to me.

The detective that was handling the case with my Mothers ID theft & her abuse along with the California Adult Protective Services that just dropped the ball were the beginning of my anger with the system. The police came out to accuse me of abusing my mother on an annomous tip (yea, from the home care person who was abusing my Mother) & were rude & horrible.......& could take that side strongly, but when it comes to helping the actual people who have been abused & stolen from....they are useless.

I don't know where to turn right now......call the lady & offer her a reward for getting my flute back...she knows the details now....she has to. Threaten her that if she doesn't get the flute back for the peaceful reward, that she everyone involved will regret it.....maybe hire a private detective to get my flute back. My flute is worth over $6000, when I had it appraised years ago, it was only worth about $3000. If my insurance rider doesn't cover it completely for a replacement, I can't afford to buy another one of the quality I had & it really makes a difference.....why should I always be the one that looses everything? If I look at it that way, I could actually afford a private detective if he could find my flute because then I wouldn't have to buy a new one & spend all that money, so I could spend some on the private detective.....or the reward.

I am just so angry after talking with the detective & finding out just how he is dropping the case just like everyone else drops things in my life. I am such a fighter for things in my life, I hate it when I am dependent on others & they won't even do their jobs.....just because someone wasn't killed when they broke into my truck, they won't do anything about it.

I have being treated as if I & my situations aren't worth anything in this life. Guess that also translated into how I feel my husband is treating the marriage too. The problem is that I know that I don't deserve to be treated this way. I don't treat others that way, & don't expect others to treat me in a way I wouldn't treat them.

I am angry & hurt & it feels like it's continually happening in my life by people who just don't care about anything because of others that don't care about anything,

I'm so sorry this is happening to you and you are feeling this way. I completely understand and you have every right to feel the way you are feeling.

I do so hope he picks up the ball from here. I would call him weekly....keep bugging him (nicely of course) until he is sick and tired of hearing from you to the point he gets off his arse and does his job!

Wishing you well hon.

I recently had a fraud/theft issue, and I never have anyone in my home, but did have the contractor and less than 8 ppl at different times in my home. The contractor was the only one who was in my home and came back (the cc company says my card was taken from home, and returned) yet, they closed the case without resolution. The police, locally, wouldn't even file a regular report because nothing was stolen from the home. The "thefts" were in stores all over the State, but none in the city, and since I had my card, it technically wasn't stolen.

Gotta breathe... do what you can and don't worry about the rest... moving on.

I decided to call a private investigation company in Albuquerque & talk to them to get their take on the situation. That was very helpful actually. He told me that is wasn't a good idea for me to call the lady offering a reward, but if it comes to that point, then I need someone to make the offer for me. He said it wasn't safe for me to do that especially since the boyfriend has jail time & said them may feel threatened if I get involved, not knowing exactly what I might do...& since they know both of my addresses....not a good idea.

He said that in Albuquerque, they have to go to the grand jury to get a sopena for the crickett com information & that the detective just wasn't doing it & that I should call & push a bit. He also said that the detective should be going through the pawn shop information to see if the flute has come in....to ask him if he's done that.

He suggested to give the detective a couple more weeks, & if he hasn't resolved anything by then, to give them a call back. He said chances are that the flute was sold at a flee market or through an add, but there is a chance that it's still around & that they could put an add in the paper to see if someone knows about it & comes forward for a reward even if they didn't....the last time is was only 3 days after the flute was stolen.

I told him about the reporter that did the article on me & my flute....similar....but it might be something to try again.

I also emailed the reporter & let her know what was going on. She said she would call his captain & get a fire lit under him...& I called the detective back & told him I expected him to get the sopena & asked him if he had been checking to see if anything had come through the pawn shops.....he had no idea where to look for that information......say what???

I talked to the pawn shops right after it happened & they have to report everything that comes in to the police & the police check if things are . Unless there is a different group that goes through the pawn shop information, this detective is quite incompetent. He didn't sound too happy to hear from me, but I told him I had been hurt badly by sitting back & doing nothing in a past experience & I wasn't about to do that again....that I was going to see that everything possible is done to get my flute back.

Sure I have insurance, but not sure if it will cover the complete replacement amount & I'm not in a financial situation where I can afford to replace it & I'm not about to have a lessor flute just because some jerk detective is being incompetent......that's over & above the emotional value the flute has for me. I won't give up until there is nothing more that can be done. I'm tired of rolling over & letting the bad people take advantage of me....it's just not going to happen this time until there is nothing more I can possibly do.
