government turned upside-down

this week my eyes have been opened to the ways the government here is not only different but turned upside-down!

unfortunately our office computer was stolen...we were told to report it to the police IMMEDIATELY. in the states, we would call 911, report the incident, and they would input it into their system and begin to investigate.

here we went TO the police office

they wrote down our report in a HUGE flip book (one day i will try to get a picture of it..) written amongst many other reports.

then they ask us for a suspect. (so much for "innocent until proven guilty")

we have no idea.

they shut the book and say "you need to bring a suspect to us for us to investigate the case"

.....

isn't that THEIR job??!?

you would think so..not in this country.

no investigation, no visiting the "crime scene", no system that would even allow them to find the original case since it is written among so many other reports.

also: police don't have transport. meaning if there WAS an emergency you would have to travel to get the police and bring them...and since cars are not common it makes it almost impossible.

like i said. government turned upside-down.
