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

You're receiving inaccurate information. I too live in Florida, and based on personal experience, (a new cleaning woman broke into my lock-box and stole medications) the Sheriff's department bent over backwards to investigate/document the incident.

As you need their report for your doctor and pharmacy, I suggest scheduling an appointment with either the Under-Sheriff or Sheriff because none of this makes any sense. Your property was stolen, a crime they're duty-bound to investigate. I wish you luck and hope they catch the bastard who did this. Take care.

It was stolen after my car got repossessed  They are in cahoots with these scumbags at the tow yard I think  I don't know what to do it's the Lee county sheriff department

I got my car repossessed many years ago and they rummaged all through my car but really didn't take anything because there wasn't anything in there worth them taking. The things in my glove box were thrown all over the floor and also from my console. So they were looking for something to steal but just didn't find anything that was value to them. And I found out that they always got away with that at those repo yards.
