I tried to make a theft report on my computer and I gave up and just got exasperated and told them I was robbed. Stupid cops.

The wonderful world of computerized reporting. It's not just the police, it's all of public safety these days.

Even worse than that is the computer aided dispatch systems. Just about all of them require that you enter a street number to create an incident. That works fine in the urban settings where street numbers are clearly available, but isn't worth a damn in a rural area where the numbers may exist but there's no way to find one.
