Go ahead. Can I get 44 on a separate channel, please? Channel 3[2], 144[1]? I'm going to 3. I'm going to 3. Hey (name withheld), what we got here? Well, we just have the witness IDM. He says he's got dashcam video of this gentleman hitting that car with that load of cycle. Are you out with the motorcycle or the vehicle that was potentially damaged by his erratic driving behaviors? Yep, he dumped it. I saw him with it on the sidewalk as I passed by, and by the time I circled back around, he had ran with it. And he came around the building and dumped it in the shell of ditch here. It's just a dirt bike. There's no, it's by no means road legal. I don't even know where the bin would be on it. But if you want me to just go ahead and impound it, I can call for (name withheld) and then work on that. Do we already pull a case? I haven't yet. I was just waiting for this witness to IDM, but he's 100% sure it's him. I also just because he has the video. We can't watch it right now, but if you saw him with the dirt bike, you came in, I'd need him, we should be good to go. He's also a hard driver as well, and he just wrote the booze. So I'm guessing the inbox thing is going to be correct. If dispatches over here, will you pull us a case number[3], please? I think that doesn't know. I'm going to go over to Channel 1, (name withheld), and I will pull a case for us, and then you just want to start cartel. Where's the dirt bike thing you have? It's going to be just off of, what is it, Locust, just to the north. So the building at East, Forth, and Locust, just to the north west of that. So that north-west corner of that building. As it is, I also have another witness who was extremely helpful. I don't know if the same witness you talked to, (name withheld)? This gentleman that we're with right now is going to show us the dash cam too, so we have money to charge us yet at night. If you just want to grab their information, I'll put it in the case. And yeah, we'll do all that, get the impound and all of it. Copy, sounds good.
