Italian Police help thieves escape!

I caught the thieving b's, now what?

The Story
Yes it's true, I'm currently in Italy at Lake Garda, still enjoying my grand European tour (photos on my facebook page at; http://profile.to/dynamicmike)

My Campervan was broken into on Saturday around 3.30pm and they stole my big laptop and good camera.

They left my GPS (and the chargers for the stolen items), so i located the nearest Police station and i jogged there, leaving my dog in the camper incase the thieves returned (they've also broken the door lock).

On returning to the special camper-parking area, i was informed that there were three young guys (all aged 30 it turns out, but they looked younger) in the camper parked in the corner and they had just gone for a walk.

Sure enough, when i investigated, there was MY camera strap sitting on their front seat!
I am 100% positive it was my strap as one of the buckles was broken & stitching gone (i'd been using it everyday).

So i waited on the culprits to return and called the Police.

To summarise; the Police refused to search their van, and laughed at me when i brought out my Italian/English dictionary to highlight the word 'search'.

So; jump an hour... I decided to bring this game to a halt - should i give them one more chance? (of course i know they'll continue to deny it) or should i attack them?

I consider that i have pretty good negotiation skills and with all of my 'spiritual learnings', i decide attacking them will be my last course of action.

Well i can certainly look after myself (15 yrs kickboxing experience brings lots of certainty and confidence), but i'm not an attacker.
So i decide to confront them again and this time i allow THEM to call the Police.
I hoping that this time, the Police will do something, and at least search their van.

Unfortunately the same Police arrived and angrily shouted at me and physically pushed me back to my van, saying their conversation was private and they would come to me... they never did!

Instead, the Police blocked my van to allow the culprits to drive off, staying there long enough for them to escape so that i couldn't follow, and then the Police drove off themselves without a word to me!

INSURANCE?
Well it turns out that neither my campervan insurance, nor my personal travel insurance will cover the loss, and i now wish to replace my beloved camera.
