00:03
1032.
00:05
Hey, were there any keys in the vehicle?
00:15
Yeah, we're on the phone with the owner of the vehicle.
00:18
She doesn't have the keys to it, so we're trying to see where the keys inside of the car.
00:24
If not, we'll probably end up having to throw it or whatever.
00:28
So give us a fact of you.
00:30
We're still talking to her.
00:36

The caller allegedly knows that her car is there.
00:48
She went yesterday and got her phone out of it, but didn't decide to call the police.
00:55
But didn't call, sorry if y'all hear about partner, but she didn't call the police to recover it, and now I'm getting more info from my partner.
01:02
Hold on.
01:07
Okay, 2.32, apparently when she saw found the car yesterday, she said the door was open and she took her phone out of it, but then stated that she didn't report it stolen at that moment.
01:20
I asked her, did she know who took her car? She says no.
01:23
She's going to try to find a private tow.
01:25
So it sounds like to me she's aware that her car is sitting there on 26th Street.
01:36
Lemon.
01:42
And I'm going to look at this RD[1] to see who reported the car stolen, because it's Sean and stolen.
01:47
I don't know what she's talking about.
01:54

02:20
All right, 1032 for some more update.
02:25
Yeah,
02:28
it's something suspicious going on.

02:38
and then she reported it stolen that evening after the fact.
