It might also be a matter of getting a directive from their management not the care, because there's not enough cops to go around for the 'important' stuff.
They don't want to waste their limited time for simple property theft, which is ironic considering that's what police are supposed to be doing (stopping theft).
The answer would be then to hire more police, but unfortunately that would mean higher taxes for the citizenry, and that seems to be a hard glass ceiling.

The police exists to protect the status quo. Try overthrowing any immoral law or legally but immoral behavior and you'll see how efficiently they move about.
Before handing out life advice maybe try it IRL and see how it goes. It's kinda fun.
