Police are not there to help you, they exist to protect governments and businesses.

Call them to report your car is stolen, that's a theft of tens of thousands of dollars, and they will tell you to call your insurance company. Now go to the bank and snatch a $100 bill from a teller, there will be cops there to arrest you in minutes.

And the insurance will rip you in ways you will be surprised are legal. There is no winning.
