Yep. I live in Hillsboro, a pretty quiet suburb of Portland. Police here are so bored that when a bunch of drunk teenagers were acting a fool on our street, they sent three cop cars to grab the kiddos and drive them back to their parents' houses.

Head over to Portland, and the cops are so overloaded with dealing with more serious crimes that they won't even respond to auto theft.

I would definitely call the police for package theft in my town, and I'd have a good expectation that they'd assign an officer to watch for crime patterns and get the guys.

In Portland, I'd be duplicating this guy's glitter bomb.
