A friend of mine had his bag stolen at the gym a few weeks ago. In it was his wallet, keys, personal and work cellphone as well as some medical supplies like a blood sugar monitor (he's diabetic). He didn't even consider calling the police because he assumed that they would never get his stuff back or catch the person that did it. The only reason he ended up calling was that he needed the case number for insurance to pay for the phone and so he could drive around without a license until he got it replaced.
