You know, I'm going to be honest.
01:24
I really don't know.

3845, 3815.
01:57
So a little more information for you.
01:59
3845, if you want to continue to follow the vehicle, but it does sound like the staff has all of her information, so I think that's why they were not chasing after her.
02:12
Okay, was the merchandise returns?
02:20
I did not say if it was returned or not, but they do still want to press charges.
