Right.

What they really want to say is "We aren't interested in investigating your personal theft. Things get stolen all the time and we really can't be bothered. You are not important to us."

But they can't say that, so they instead throw out some excuse that puts the onus back on the other person.

You dont quite understand.

They aren't here to protect your property.

Or you, really.

Not unless you have a couple million in assets, then all of a sudden it's all hands on deck, let's get this bicycle back.

They can, and do, say that.

Edit: just without the you're not important to us part.
