As mentioned above the insurance caper is pretty tricky. Most will cover you of it is secured - locked up. That's about it.
With the cops, they really don't give a fuck. Having been the victim of a few thefts I have plenty of stories of the lazy bastards not giving a crap. But to their credit (twice and twice only) I have seen them put effort into retrieving stolen bikes.
Incident 1 - I was crash tackled off my bike at approx 1am by a plain clothed officer on a stake out in a gang/hooker/dealer area. Apparently my erratic riding style caught their attention (wheelies and gutter hucks) and they wanted to check my everything for drugs. It was an unkind experience and after they found I wasn't carrying kilos of cocaine they ran a check to see if my bike was stolen. Which I wasn't until a few months later by some arsehole.
Incident 2 - when my canfield was pinched an officer attended the scene and the station guys actually checked cctv footage etc. With all the phone calls they made to me about it, they certainly seemed to be doing something. But as the officer who attended said its the kind of thing they don't really care about due to their being limited resources and lots of bigger crimes to cover. He was an hour late to meet me, having stopped in at a domestic incident on the way...also he had threatened to taser me about a year prior to this one night while riding my bike home from a cafe.
