There is also a 911 for non life and death problems like flag stealing, etc. I you call the number you can leave a report and an officer will call you back and take your complaint. If necessary, they will come out to your house an take a formal complaint.

The number is 1-352-732-9111

I called them when my Halloween flag was stolen off of my house just so they would be aware in case someone else called in the same type of thievery in our area.
