Shocking, theft.

On Friday night at about 8: 40 pm, while attending my mothers 90th birthday party, my taxi was broken into by a young white male. The worrying thing is that he appears to have picked the lock, not smash the window, as is the normal MO of the local smack heads in Harrow. My garage informs me that they know of no other break in done by picking the lock in this area.
Myself and the hotel manager watched on the CCTV as this person approached the taxi and gained entry in seconds. He took my surveillance equipment plus a few personal items he found in the glove box.
As I had the cab washed specially for this occasion I presented it to the police station in South Harrow hopping they would finger print the door.
I was amazed, they had no intention of finger printing the door and did not keep the photos of the thief that were downloaded from the CCTV images. As far as I know, the police have not contacted the Hotel to view the CCTV footage.
Is it a cab driver thing?
Are the police just plain biased towards Taxi drivers?

Worst of all I phoned my insurers only to be told my policy did not cover my personal possessions. It turned out to be an expensive night off.
