You may also be asked if you should report an attempted break-in. If someone tried to enter your apartment or home, they must be reported to the local law enforcement agency so that they can properly document the incident. It is like it never happened if you don't let the local police about the attempted breaking in.

It is also important to know where you can report a car accident.

You should immediately report any car theft to the police. Some forces may also have an online reporting option. You can ring 911 if you see someone breaking into your vehicle. Otherwise, call the 101 non-emergency number.

What is the maximum time you can take to file a report in police about burglary?

The time limit for filing a police report about a theft or other criminal act is not subject to expiration. For most felonies, the statute of limitations protects defendants at one year and five years respectively.
