I agree with you and would love to see it, but I know the inertia of this place and as Bob Orts pointed out, with a set budget you do not ADD top priorities you take away from something else, perhaps kids who are being abused, and crime against persons always comes first.
I hope you know it does not count as a "danger" to say the victim almost got into a fight or struggle with the thief while pursuing the thief. Public dangers to persons are from criminals who violently attack other people. This is property crime.
YES I want to see it end.
I also want to see speeding enforced, DUI's not tolerated, domestic abuse not tolerated, and much much more.
Good for you for working on this problem.
I just spoke to a County guy today who promised me absolutely he would get a job budgeted that directly involves the safety of myself and my family, and after waiting the 18 MONTHS he told me it would take, but it would happen - I heard today that it won't happen as as for WHY not, "maybe I forgot." No apology, no alternative, go away, don't come back.
So, good luck!
