Legal Question in Personal Injury in Oregon

I was separating from a twenty year relationship in Oregon and had moved my things into storage in Washington state and the man came back to the home before I got out of there and then asked me if I would help him prepare the home for sale and I said yes and then him and his son stole my keys and went to my storage shed in Woodland, Washington and stole my things. I called the police and the cop told me that there was nothing I could do about it as Washington is a community property state. The police said at first for me to pull all of the things out of the storage so he could get to the back of the storage unit and he would come back and fingerprint and when he came back he told me point blank he is not going to fingerprint and that is when he told me about Washington being a community property state. I don't understand how people can steal your stuff and get away with it.This is not the first time I have been stolen from. I would like to know if I have any solid ground to stand on. I was ripped off by him and his son before. A storage shed I had rented in Oregon, the managers there allowed them to go in my units and take stuff and there was no man on my rental agreement. I also paid movers to move me from one storage unit to another and they ripped me off while I was gone returning the truck. They played me for a damn fool, I actually thought they were friends and would not steal from me. What a damn fool I was. I am getting sick of being stolen from and seems there is nothing ever happens to the thieves. Thanks in advance for your time,
