Property Stolen Marion City Cops Do nothing!

[Phil Blair]

So yesterday day I took over my house that my tenants have literally destroyed. At least in my opinion. I was not making money on this property, literally, I tried renting because my house flipflopped in mortgage and I was driving an hour to school and half an hour to work as well. So thus this is the reason I decided to move, for economic reasons. With all that said, had to evict my tenants because they got busted for Drug Possession. When I overtook the house just yesterday, I had found that they stole my washer and dryer and in the process tore up the vinyl flooring, not real cheap stuff, but with the backing, because I used to live there and put it down myself. So I am estimating they did $2000 to 3000 worth of damage in just that alone.

I know I can sue her but thats not the problem here at all, when I called the cops they acted like they didn't want anything to do with me, I'm still pissed about this. The cops tell me that this is a civil matter, I'm like are you serious, so they didn't even take a report. So I called my attorney and he said call them back and make them file a report, so I called again per my attorney's request the dispatcher starts to give me crap again, finally I said put your supervisor on, then and finally then, they started to take my report. Why does it have to go to that extreme? Why can't they just do their job? Then I called again today because I realized that they are still thinking this is a civil matter, I said I want to press charges on the person who rented my property, they again told me this was a civil matter. I said who is telling you this is a civil matter? They wouldn't tell me? I'm like my lawyer thinks this is theft, so how is this still a civil matter. Idk but I think I will file a formal complaint hopefully with or without the help of my lawyer and I think I will write a note to the mayor because this shouldn't happen.

What do you guys think of this situation? Does this sound screwed up to you?
