A friend's house got robbed last night and the cops were like "just fill out a claim online" they didn't bother showing up or anything. But those fuckers are right there if you take a right on a red. No issue there.
A) Your friend's house wasn't robbed, unless he was in it at the time. Robbery = theft with the use or threat of violence. Break-and-enter and theft (or burglary) is the term you are looking for. /legalnerdpetpeeve
B) I understand that it may seem to reflect a disinterest on the part of police, but this sort of thing is actually (and unfortunately) a near-inevitable aspect of police reform in the 21st century, as police forces face resource and budget issues and look for ways to maximize efficiency. Many departments are looking at ways to focus police officer resources on core policing duties, and looking for creative ways to civilian-ize (ie. admin work) or automate duties and tasks that were traditionally carried out by sworn, armed officers.
The cold, hard truth is, on an individual, case-by-case basis, there is little that police can do to solve an individual break-and-enter/burglary, and there is little value that a uniformed officer attending a BnE/burglary and taking the report can add, over filing some sort of "online claim/report", so long as the claim/report is structured in a way to gather the relevant info.
Now, that answer is little comfort to an individual victim. Especially as a Break-and-Enter/burglary can be an incredibly traumatic event. It affects people out of proportion to the physical loss, it's a violation of the security and sanctity of one's home, it can definitely mess with your head. But in resource-strapped departments, it's likely the way things are going to be, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with "callousness" or "indifference" on the part of a police department.
C) I know it's part joke, but no bitching about getting caught on a traffic violation. None of us are perfect drivers, but commit a traffic violation in full view of a marked police cruiser? That's it's own brand of Darwin award. You're a grown ass adult, quit yer' bitchin' and hold your L. Fuck, I don't even write tickets, and that attitude pisses me off.
