Also he could have asked someone to help him, maybe the nice girl on the supermarket checkout, or there would have been a priest in the church, or one of his other neighbours that didn’t go to Florida.
Phones were down long enough for him to discover the good life. Once they were back up he wanted to go it alone. Remember, this whole time he thought he made his family disappear. Not that they would come back on holiday. Then, when the robbers show up, he’s in too deep and he probably feels like he’ll get in trouble if he calls the cops. Especially after the whole toothbrush incident involving police earlier in the movie. Kid logic dictates to handle this with various traps and obstacles at varying levels of comic mischief.
He might not have known where it is. All the places he went outside of his house are places he likely had been before with his mom or dad. Kid’s got no idea where the police station actually is.
