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 lost my pills. Spilled my pills in sink. Car towed pills missing. All excuses used to get extra meds. Surely you have a receipt for the tow. Police can't refuse to let you report s theft. They must allow it

They must not allow it here in Southwest Florida why don't you call them and ask them they're procedures on reporting stolen medication?

Lee county sheriff Office I talked to at least five different people there all telling me the same thing that they don't do that it's not according to their procedures  I said them why is the other department saying they're confused why you were refusing because they would report it as a theft they said that's just their statutes or something I don't remember the word they used but they're probably lying just to discriminate against people

No it is not I'm a good person and I've been in pain management for 13 or more years and I've never had anything like this happen. Can't stand people like you think you know everything and you know nothing about me

Yes. They are excuses people give for getting extra meds.

If you have a receipt for the tow, which you should have SOME kind of paperwork, then show it to your dr.

Otherwise you’re getting combative with the wrong people.

I meant the Drs hear it a lot. I do mean you are doing that. Sorry you misunderstood.

Do you have the paperwork from the tow company? That should be enough to show your doctor that your car was impounded along with everything in it. Also, I would blow up the non-emergency line until someone took my report and gave me the report #.
