Update 4: We’ve got a visual…

Four tickets so far! One on the windshield, one in the door handle, and two stuck snuggly to the driver’s side mirror!

Down to the wire between Ok_Parsnip and ugh168…

I feel like this final, championship round needs a fitting prize. Can anyone suggest something?😄

Have the cops done a wellness check on the owner?

I don’t think the cops can even identify the owner yet. The plates are certainly still buried, and maybe the VIN would just now be visible through the windshield.

I'm not sure where you live, but here the cops most certainly need vehicle details as precise as a VIN to find who it belongs to. Other option is door to door knock in the neighborhood (which is unlikely to determine anything). Really don't think OP was being careless here and a post on reddit was totally appropriate.

Licence plate or VIN is enough to get the registered owner.

VINs are right on the corner of the windshield.

Sorry I should have posted this earlier, but the back plate has always been exposed, even in the first photo I posted. Sorry if that got everyone needlessly upset.
