02:49
no, go back mobile.
02:50
Okay, Chopper, it is.
02:51
It's parked, uh, we don't see anybody around it, so there's a chance that they, uh, they got out in arbor, but again, the vehicle is parked fourth and fifth north of, inside the parking garage.

This all started down on Nove 5.

I think a 13-freec car was the one that started this.
03:15
We're having a discussion here but we believe they're still in the parking garage.
03:19
We think the vehicle that we're looking at is not the one, but they have certainly gone into the parking garage and not come out.
