Maybe? Maybe not? Maybe it was stolen? Don't know what this has to do with anything. No arrests have been made but I'd say it is a safe bet that the owner of the SUV (which can easily be determined by the vehicle's VIN, no plates required) has been contacted.

Strictly a bus and train rider eh?
Any driver and or car owner knows about “plates”.
