House Robbed and Burnt to the Ground

Dear Sir or Madam:
My house last Sunday morning at 5:30 am was robbed and burnt to the ground!
I have been living in another parish and after getting the news went to the location in Washington Gardens to see everything completely burnt in what, was a 3 bedroom home, gone - except the walls standing.
On visiting the police at 5:30 pm I reported the robbery and burning. The policeman insisted that this could not have happened and they not know about it. He went to his big book and could not find anything, to his surprise.
He then took my name, address and phone number and told me that they would call me regarding the matter. Nine days have now past and nothing not even a call to me from them since.
What is a humble Jamaican to do now?
The police seem unable to even visit the crime scene for an initial investigation.
Going to the local councilor or the constituency MP can get me nowhere soon.
The welfare ministry came to mind but what could they really do?
The government's seeming incapability re: crime is what got me here in the first place.
What can I do? Where do I turn? The house was not insured and with no justice, I just loose my JAM$2.5 - 3 Million just like that - Just loose and then that is it - Forget it. Is that what I am supposed to do, forget it?
What do you recommend? Whom do I sue?
When will Jamaicans wake up, after their homes burn too!
Thank you for listening,
CCCampbell

Sorry for your lose. The best thing to do is access the most powerful people you can forget the guy on the front desk at the police station you need to talk to his boss and if he doen't help to to his boss, or your MP directly, exhaust all your networks and find the most powerful people you even remotely know and call in a few favours . Its a shame to have to say it but Power gets things done.

I am really sorry to hear of about the damage to your property. The officials seem to be going about things in the wrong way.
What progress have you made now? Did you get any help from the government? Did you contact your government representative?
