According to the other “local” news source that is not produced locally….


The woman drove off with the trunk lid still open, negating any chance of a photo of the license plate.


These photo’s were taken by a store employee, and since this state and country is lawsuit happy, the employees were at a loss to physically stop her.


Seems like the camera should have the license plate number.


The car is a Kia Forte circa 2019


Actually a 2020 gt line. Its an appearance package only. Some racy red bits and a “spoiler” stuck to the trunk.


How embarrassing.


Why, if its less than $950 its a catch and release ticket.


I can’t believe it should be too difficult. Picture of face, tattoos, car (by the way who is taking the pictures)??

I have to believe they probably have a license plate Pic also.


No need for the FBI on this one.
