Yup, watched it happen as groups of folks worked together to work out the plate then run the plate to find the make and VIN. From the VIN they found the dealer who had a review under the car from the buyer saying how great the experience was. Turns out the reviewer was this kid's dad who leased the car from the dealer. Was amazing how quickly this kid was tracked down based on a very blurry snapshot of a license plate from a video recorded by hand.
