I emailed my cousin, a 10-year veteran cop, and he said that people trying to "enact justice" on their own cause way, way more injustice and violence than they prevent.
Not one Chicago cop would come out and fill a report when I was living in the city and my car was stolen. They were kind enough to give it a ticket after it was stripped and dumped and parked illegally. They were too lazy to notify me that it was 'found' after it was eventually towed. Oh yeah, cause I didn't have a real copy of the police record, I had to pay the parking fine. And cause it was towed to an impound lot and sat there for a week, it wasn't worth paying to get out cause the thieves took everything.
@Shenanigans Speaking of lazy, you could have gone down to the police department yourself and filed a police report. Sans car yes, but I have heard that Chicago does have a fairly significant public transportation system. That should have been enough to get you to a police department facility.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.

Hmm, let me see? Perp robs me, i catch perp, beat the the ps3 or xbox360 (crap) out of him, recover stolen property. Where's the injustice?
that may be true, but with the real cops on the case, there's not a chance in hell he'd have gotten his phone back.
@monkey... or you find your phone and some big dude whoops your nerd ass and takes your phone with him anyway.
@ Ham-
That's so true.

Chicago cops are the worst.

Chief Wiggum: Can't you people take the law into your own hands? I mean, we can't be policing the entire city!
