    Another coward behind the wheel with no moral character or a conscience, it’s a good bet this one has a record, suspended or revoked drivers license, and no insurance. Instead of driving a vehicle the criminal needs to be stamping out license plates for them.

    @Nod- the resolution from the cameras are not good enough to see license plates.

    I am surprised that they got all that information about the car but did not get the license plate number.

    This looks like a 2nd generation Explorer, which is years 1995-2001.

    @ John Snow. That happens from the sun, too. My truck had never seen snow and it did that on the hood and the roof. Once the clear coat burns off, the sun will burn through the paint, to the primer in a heartbeat.

    Try the University, looks like rust has accumulated on the roof from an abundance of snow from previous years.
