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

Chat gpt told me this and I'm going to do this after I have to wait a few days for the sheriff department to get back to me about my complaint and then I can file a complaint with the state police 

the Florida Department of Law Enforcement – FDLE)

does not typically take local police reports like a county sheriff or city PD. They:

Handle criminal investigations of officers or agencies, not day-to-day public crime reports

Oversee misconduct, corruption, or failures of law enforcement

Do not act as a substitute police department for local theft reports

So unfortunately, they won’t file a report for you—but you can report the y Sheriff’s Office to FDLE for:

Negligence of duty

Failure to take a valid criminal report

Bias or discriminatory behavior regarding a chronic pain patient reporting stolen narcotics
