Some police departments try to dodge identity theft reports because it’s tough to investigate. But guess what? You’re entitled to file one. Sometimes it just takes polite pressure—or a letter from an ID theft attorney—to remind them they must. That police report can be crucial for disputing fraud with banks, so don’t let them off the hook if you need it.
