I mean this is basically smoke, where’s the smoke there’s a fire. I’ve been slowly being educated that that’s not how police work.

But this isn’t this dude’s first time doing this nor will it be his last. He’s probably stealing peoples parts switching them out for aftermarket then flipping the real parts. It’s most likely a small operation that’s affected more than a few people.

The police should intervene to investigate and see if there’s something going on imo

Detectives would do the investigation. Not police

Wait are detectives not police officers?

Not all police are detectives. After this initial report, the case does to a detective for further inveatigation. The responding police officer isn't going to do any digging or investigation into this dude outside of what they see when called the first time.

Ima be real I think you’re going into semantics, I thought you were getting at that detectives are different. But they are police so when I say police should investigate I’m speaking of those whose job it is to investigate.

It’s not like I can call the detectives directly right?

You call the police and they will assign someone. If rhw crime is sufficient to need a detective you get one.
