You can sometimes circumvent filing a police report, like if the courier hasn't taken a photo of your parcel then there's no evidence that the parcel actually reached your property. Therefore, you can say that you've attempted to file a police report but the officer at your local station has stated there's no proof a crime has been committed so they can't, this has worked for me a few times but it's dependent on who you're SEing, for example Amazon are stubborn with police reports and won't proceed with your claim until you fulfill their request regardless of what you try to tell them - for a "customer-centric company" their customer service is some of the worst I've experienced.
