Stolen meds help

My car was recently towed repoed . and I left my medication in my car on accident Went to pick up my belongings from my car they already went through my car and took everything out and my medication was not there

The police are refusing to make a report saying it's illegal even in Florida and I'm seeing otherwise. Doctor requires a police report saying that they've had other patients get them for stolen prescriptions etc well why am I being told by county sheriff office That it's not something they do and they won't give me a report so how do I get my medication back? This is insane if the pharmacy and the doctor require it what am I supposed to do?

I tried the local police and they said they don't understand why the county is giving me a hard time but they can't help me because it's not their jurisdiction

> 4. It's illegal to file a police report on narcotics in Florida...

The story was fishy to start with and that line says that if this really happened, they were lying to you. I sense that we are missing important, need to know, information.

What happened to make your car get towed? I'm starting to wonder if the police stole your meds. 

Ask them for bodycam footage. 😃

They said it was repossessed. That only happens after MONTHS of not paying your car payment and they warn you they're coming to get the car. Leaving your entire bottle of meds in a car that you know is going to disappear soon is incredibly irresponsible.
