Dom got it on the head. In a shift a cop will have to; arrest a shoplifter, a drink driver, a mobile-using-whilst-driving ballbag, chase a bag-snatcher, question informants, recover a deceased and catch up on the paperwork from similar activities from the shift before (station dependant of course). With so much on their plate the loss of your bike is low priority but to you it's the loss of a limb. I've lost 25 grands worth of bikes over the last 7 years so my advice is specified insurance. I feel your pain man.
