As much as I agree gi2c, here is the issue.  Cost benefit analysis.

The cost of staking out a joint every day, until it gets hit, outweighs the benefit of doing so.

At least that's how government departments do things.  They will simply point to insurance companies paying out as a reason why not to do it, and they also will have a fair idea whom is behind it anyway.  These won't be random acts of violence but targeted organised crime.

A tobacco store in Melbourne’s north has been set ablaze for a second time as police continue to probe a spate of targeted arson attacks linked to organised crime wars over the illicit tobacco trade.

Agree, its all about resources vs results in policing from what I have been told by friends and relo's in the job, and unfortunately there isnt enough money/staff to throw at every crime on mass and they have to think what the end results look like and what the priorities are at the minute.
