They certainly did not dismiss my concern, and my old mate got the surprise of his life when he saw a police car roll up to his office. The storm had knocked out the phone line, but I wasn't to know this, and my mate was perfectly OK. I got a call back shortly afterwards from the Police to tell me he was good. I called my friend a few days later when the line was restored, and I can tell you, that someone should care enough to call the cops to make sure you're OK is something that doesn't go unnoticed.
I don't think it would be wrong to call the police to see if Brendan is OK. Regardless of the gear in question, for me it would be WRONG not to make sure he is ok. The gear can follow. Not much good trying to get you stuff back from a dead man.
If you can leave your anger to one side, do call the police. Yes tell them what's happened, but that your first concern is the Brendan is OK. I'd make sure the man is alive and well. The gear can follow - it's only stuff afterall.

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to approach the Police about. If they are busy with more important stuff, it'll just be down their list a bit. You can't decide how busy the Police are, or their priorities.
