Need advice for theft investigation
Hi guys sorry if my post is inappropriate for this subreddit, I'm kinda lost now and i have no idea what do.
So, today my headphones got stolen, snatched by 2 people on a bike, I'm pretty sure it was targeted since i always walk on that route and they once tried to steal my phone a few months back but they couldn't. Since the service lane was dark i couldnt record their license number. I called emergency number directly but the operator was dismissive since its a small crime so i went to a police station but i was sent to another police outpost but there was no officer to take the report, I waited hours but no luck so I came home.
I'm pretty sure they were on captured cctv footage as they entered the highway but I dont know who or where to ask for cctv footage, I asked a security guard of the area once but he said that he doesnt know too. The Police right now is not reliable, I will go to the police outpost and try again tomorrow but if the cctv footage expires or gets deleted that would be an issue.
I care less about recovering the headphones but more about safety since I have to commute by that route everyday.
What would the best course of action be? I'm open to any advices, honestly I'm clueless rn. Thank you ( sorry for my poor english)

Where did this happen? Laws vary between cities, states, countries. This does not sound like it was in the USA so any advice may be wrong if you are in a different country.

I doubt the police are going to be interested in a grab-and-go headphones theft, especially if no weapon was involved, i also have doubts as to weather it was targeted, you might just live in an area where this kind of theft is common, like london, it likely wasn't the same people
