The vehicle was not registered
A deep dive into the database revealed an unexpected discrepancy. The model of the car that he was after, along with the partial number plates he remembered were both flagged unregistered. This strange revelation deepened the mystery by suggesting that the vehicle may be operating outside of the usual registration protocols.
This meant that the system recognized the existence of the car, but it could not provide any details about its owner or origin. The revelation was a shock to Officer Davis but he did not let it deter him. He was not about to abandon his goal.
