Tell the cop if he can't even figure this one out he stands no chance at making detective. (sadly I've had to use this line on a less then brilliant cop) He's missing the first letter and can't figure it out? He has only 36 possibilities (a-z and 0-9) Talk to the cops supervisor. Point out that even a junior Dick Tracy fan club member can figure this one out. (you may want to phase it less derogatory) Anyway also post on Craig's list. offer a $50 reward for finding the car, then lead the cop to the car and ask for his days salary because you had to do his job.
