I was robbed when I worked as a cashier. I literally did all the work and found the dudes name because he came in earlier and paid with a card and signed his name. Gave them his name and they didn't care. Nothing was ever done, I still see the dude walking around frequently.
We had a guy come in for training. His first day. During lunch he left, slashed a tire on every car and smashed two windows.
We had him on tape and we had all his info because he was just hired.
Cops wouldn't do shit about it. Didn't even look for the guy.
Many years ago, before identity theft was a thing, my mom (who live with me), had our mail stolen. That day was the day that Oregon was sending out our "kicker checks", those are refund checks from the Oregon Dept of Revenue, and also the day that my mom's bank sent out her bank statement.
We found out because I got a letter from the Oregon Dept of Revenue that my kicker check was cashed at a different amount than it was issued. I did get a replacement, but I pointed out to the Oregon Dept of Revenue that the kicker check did have my social security number on it. They agreed and stated that will be the last year that will be a thing.
My mom fared worse, since she had a bank statement that was stolen. The thief went to an office supply store where they sold paper check templates and used the bank account number that the bank helpfully included in full on the bank statement, and printed out fake checks and wrote several at WalMart. To this day my mom is banned from writing checks there.
I never did get the police to care. Identity theft was not a thing at time. They flatly stated that they were not going to even write a report because I was getting a replacement check, so there was no crime.
That never did make sense. If my car gets stolen and the insurance company gets me another one, the thief, if caught, will get charged with something.
Cops will often not do jack shit if it means they have to actually get off their fat mattress and work.
Next time something like this happens, report it to USPSIS, they're much more serious about investigating mail crimes (which this falls under since they stole your mail), and they don't fuck around.
Couple of years ago, I received a package from the FBI which contained a number of bank statements and DMV letters that apparently had been recovered in Florida, clear across the country from where I live. These were letters dated less than a month before.
Apparently the FBI were investigating some identity theft, and found thousands of people's mail and other identification at this place in Florida. And then they sent back the material to the various victims. Luckily, I never found any fake accounts or anything in my name but that was pretty crazy.
So apparently the FBI are still doing some work...
Yeah the dude who robbed me didn't wear a mask and you could clearly see his face on the tape. They didn't care.

I'm sorry that happened to you.
