From Sean's post "The break in occured around 25th and Shower and a good neighbor did catch the plates, but when they were called in they didn't match the vehicle."
This should not have been the end of the affair. Did the police check with the owner of the plates? Does that person have a purple Mitsubishi? Had the plates been reported stolen? Where is the vehicle to which the plates belong? Police work entails more than 'take a report, file and forget'. This is the kind of situation where a good Neighborhood Watch can put gentle pressure on the Police by asking for follow up and making it clear that a response IS required.
