I'd contact somebody higher up at the police department and let them know that you were blown off while trying to report the theft of something valuable. Then I'd file a formal complaint against the department if they still won't do anything.

I had a police officer try to bully me like this once when my debit card was stolen and $900 in charges were deducted from my account-- she kept saying things like "well, do you KNOW the card was stolen and you didn't just drop it?" I couldn't even believe that they were trying to make me into the at fault person when somebody had taken my debit card and charged $900 to it.

Sometimes the police need a kick in the rear, and I think you definitely have grounds to do so if they are trying to blow you off when you need help to recover something valuable that was probably stolen.
