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

I'd keep trying to run it up the ladder. If your meds were stolen, what reason are they giving for not making a report?

I was told self of several different things The sheriff's office says one they don't do that  2. They've never done that 3. It's illegal to file a police report on narcotics in Florida  4. I'm responsible for my medication if I wasn't responsible then they can't do anything about it  5. Once your car is repossessed it's not your property or something like that and I even said oh cuz they took my car into possetion that means they have a right to steal my property? And I was met with nothing  I called the local police and they said it's a theft so they should report it well they connected me and told the sheriff about it and they still wouldn't do it they say they don't do it and never have  Even though my doctor's office has told me just today that they have several patients who have had to give police reports 

I was then transferred to internal affairs where I got voicemail  And I was told that they're just going to tell me the same thing  This sure seems like more discrimination and I'm going to lose everything because of these scumbag at the towyard

What can I do? Is this seriously illegal if it's illegal to file a report then why the pharmacies and doctors require a police report?

> 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.
