Well, the Dutch police is hopeless. Last year when my phone was pickpocketed in Barcelona and I had pictures taken of the robbers, they just told me that is too much work and they don't inform Interpol. The Spanish police told me to inform the Dutch police, so the circle was round. This time the amount of money I speak of is even less than the value of a phone and less tangible, so I would really be surprised if they would take the effort to inform the Canadian police (a phonecall to Canada is much more expensive than one to Interpol after all)
