"Thim urged victims to call police as quickly as possible after a crime."

I'm not disrespecting the police or anything because I know they are running like crazy with stuff going on all over town. However, from a lot of the things I've been hearing when people do call after a crime (car theft, burglary, etc are all crimes) and the victims are told the police won't be coming and they are given a link so they can file a claim with insurance or whatever. This victim may have been an upstanding citizen or he may not have been, either way he also may have figured the police wouldn't come. He also was probably dazed from the hit, scared they'd come back and was more worried with someone coming to pick him up and getting him somewhere safe than standing on the side of the road calling the police.
