The usual procedure is for the police dispatcher to check with the law enforcement agency that entered the license plate into the database.
In case of a rental car, a call to the local or corporate office of the rental company would also be appropriate, all the more so now that there’s wide publicity about the problem of false or out-of-date theft reports.
- Aloha 4y agoYes, and calling Hertz would confirm the report that the car was stolen, because its Hertz calling the police in the first place.
- wsh 4y agoIn some cases, that might’ve been true, but in others, I expect Hertz, when confronted with a rental agreement number, vehicle number, and customer’s name, would have been able to confirm that the agreement was current and valid, making it obvious that the theft report was mistaken or outdated.
- Aloha 4y agoI normally rent from National/Enterprise, and I cant tell you the last time I got a printed rental agreement. As they say, its all in the app these days.
