Collyhurst Police Station

I had my van stolen back in December just around the corner from this police station. It was stolen overnight, and as soon I discovered the theft, I went and reported it at Collyhurst station.
Despite the van being worth £3,000, and therefore in my eyes, quite a significant theft, the policeman took some details on a scrap of paper, and sent me on my way.
I received an incident report number a few days later, but apart from that I had never had any update on the situation with my van and whether they had found or it or had even looked for it or had any information whatsoever.
I even called up Collyhurst Police Station to get an update, but my answer phone messages were never replied to. Surely with the amount of CCTV and number plate recognition technology around these days, it must have been possible to make at least some progress with my stolen van. At the very least, it would have been courteous for Collyhurst Police Station to do me the small honour of returning my phone calls.
