Ann Arbor police seek information to solve car break-in at Packard Auto Repair
Ann Arbor police are seeking information and have released a photo of a vehicle involved in a car-break-in at Packard Auto Repair in September.
Ann Arbor police say the person in this vehicle broke into a car at Packard Auto Repair.
Ann Arbor police Det. Laura Burke said a vehicle drove into the parking lot of the business at 1880 Packard St. at about 6:15 a.m. on Sept. 29. An occupant got out of that car and broke into one of the vehicles owned by Packard Auto Repair, Burke said.
Burke said various tools were stolen from the vehicle.
A security camera captured an image of the thief's vehicle. Burke described the vehicle as "possibly a mid- to late-1990s Dodge Intrepid or Chrysler LHS, four-door, red with a black landau roof and a sunroof." She also said the gas cap cover on the passenger side of the vehicle is missing.
Anyone who has information on the incident or the vehicle should contact Det. Burke at (734) 794-6930, ext. 49305, or e-mail at LBurke@a2gov.org. Anonymous calls can be directed to the tip line at (734) 794-6939 or e-mail TIPS@a2gov.org.

I agree, timing is bad in this situation. In hours, this car could have been re-painted, gas cap replaced and out of sight. I don't see how anyone could help at this point.

What appears to be snow on the ground and on the van behind the suspects vehicle is obviously just an anomaly in the photo since this was taken on September 29th but really why does the trend seem to be pushing 2 months in multiple cases for these photos of suspects, cars Etc. to be released to A2.com and others? If the photo had appeared within hours/ a couple of days the driver/perp might still be driving it and in the area. The odds are obviously greatly reduced for this photo to produce tips when this much time has expired. Again: It's not just this case. The moths delay from the Livingston County case of the blond women breaking into a home comes to mind and I can recall there were a few other photos very delayed in their release to the media, at least A2.com the past year or so too. Was the False ID from California and the Bank of America case one too? I believe so.
