I don't understand, are they lying or is it really true?
For security reasons, some police stations do not allow to file a report over the phone. They need to verify you In person, hence request to attend the station personally.

State of NJ
That's weird, the law doesn't prohibit it, I can report a crime over the phone, am I right? Moreover, I personally know people who have reported the theft over the phone, but it was in another state. So it's weird...
There is no such form on the site, now I will try to email them.

The former can be done anonymously by anyone, whereas the latter Is a dedicated document to the person filing It, hence requires ID verification.
