The police did not investigate burglary, even though the suspect left all his contact details on the scene of the crime, a victim claimed.
Paul Powlesland, a lawyer who lives on a houseboat in London, said that he had found the name and address of the alleged thief on a bail of the left behind after the raid.
It revealed that the suspect, who was in the forty, was released from prison on January 28 – the day that the burglary was understood.
The lawyer reported the theft to the metropolitan police in the hope that it was an open and closed case.
However, when Mr Powlesland appeared at his local police station, he claims that he was told that there were no officers who could help him and he would have to call 101 instead.
The lawyer said that after calling the operator he waited until 11 p.m. for a police officer to appear, but nobody came.
He said to The Times: 'If you have such a direct evidence and the police do nothing, you just don't stop.
“You just accept that people get away with it and will not protect the law.”

He claims the most recent raid he had given up reporting the crimes to the police.

It comes when the post last year revealed that the police are abandoning an increasing part of criminal investigations without identifying a perpetrator.
More than four of the 10 victims now see that their affairs are simply written off.
An analysis of official figures last year showed that the police in England and Wales investigated 45 percent of the reported offenses in which an individual victim was involved, such as an attack or personal theft.
From April to June, 452,517 investigations into such crimes were concluded without a suspect being collected, more than 27,000 in the previous three months.

Another 41,578 cases were closed without tracing a perpetrator in crimes that the home office categorizes as 'no specific victims', such as vandalism or some drug offices.
It meant that the police investigate almost four crimes per minute, on average.
Baroness Newlove, the commissioner of the victims, called on the police to take 'urgent action'.
“Victims do not report light crimes,” she said, “but far too often fallen fallen without a suspect being identified, making victims feel ignored and abandoned.”
Separate data for the 12 months to the end of June revealed that 40.2 percent of crime reports ended without a suspect being traced. That had risen from 39.5 percent the previous year and 36.2 percent the year before.
The year until June saw 2,156,075 incidents in which the police gave up to detect perpetrators – on average more than 5,900 crimes every day.
The total included more than 325,000 incidents of 'violence against the person' and nearly 32,000 sex offenses, including 7,189 rapes. More than 1.3 million thefts remained unsolved, including 139,222 burglaries.

The support of the charity victim described the figures as 'very worrying' that reflected a 'crisis in crisis'.
Spokesperson Alex Mayes added: “Everyone who has been the victim of crime deserves to investigate his case well and a fair chance to see justice.”
Labor is being brought under fire because he has not retained the same level of investment as the previous Tory government, which led to the number of police officers, where some troops, including the with, Swingleing -predicting their books, predict their books.
A spokesperson for the National Police Chefs Council said: 'In each report, officers will assess which evidence and lines of research can be available. In some cases there may not be enough information to act or to establish a criminal proceedings.
'We acknowledge that we have to do more to increase the satisfaction of the victim and bring more perpetrators to court. We work closely with the government to identify ways to become a more production and more efficient police service. '
