The police report is used as proof that the actual incident occurred where and when they said it did. A good example is that GT-R thread about the two young kids that are now facing felony insurance fraud charges. The car was used in an illegal race and was crashed. They tried to say it was an accident in another location and time. Luckily they got caught but those are the types of people that make the rest of us pay unusually high insurance rates (i live in NJ, we have the national high in this dept.).

Well for one you are abstracting the original statement into a generalized assumption.
Just because the Police will not file a report at the scene of an accident does not mean they do not file reports period. LOL It also does not mean you as a citizen cannot make a report.
As far as making a Police report goes? Anyone is welcome to go down to the their local Police station,substation whatever and file a report at the desk for the sake of reporting a lost item, stolen item, etc...
The Police even tell you this. You ask why? Ah because LA is a huge city square mileage wise, in fact much larger than New York in that sense(with lots of crazy shit going do a lot of the time LOL). The Police have to prioritize their calls because of this.
Now someone will pop and say hire more Police. LOL ya damn near broke city and broke state. Don't expect to see to many more Police being put on the beat. LOL
Oh and New York was the same way before Giuliani stepped in and straightened shit out. Broke and needed things fixed. LOL
