One of my cousins used to work in a Police control centre. Resources are

Duh.

and burglary, even those where the burglar is known to be on the premises,
get a very low priority.

Have fun listing what gets more priority than a
burglar on the premises that happens much at all.

but the reality of life in Britain today is that otherwise all you are
likely to get is a crime number to pass on to your insurers.

Even sillier when you tell them that you can see the burglar inside your
house.

Its actually just another lie.
