Sorry but the police did come around to take notes, very soon after I realised that the car window had been smashed. I have to admit I was a little surprised but I think this might be something to do with a new policy set by the new Commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe (that all victims are visited by an officer).
Even more surprising was that two more officers came back the day after to update me and give me the crime reference number.
So I have to say I was pleasently surpirsed at the police's attitutde, considering that in the past, when I have had the garden broken into and my bike nicked, I heard nothing.
