Perhaps not in that moment,
There have been repeated thefts in that parking area over the last 2-3 weeks, with damage to numerous vehicles, including a friend’s. That’s why I called it in. The times, method and MO seemed similar. If the police pull these two thieves over and there’s anything in their car that doesn’t belong to them, they have a list of people who also reported damage and stolen items. My report was just an ID, and “probable cause” to pull the car over?
