Types of applications used on the PNC
QUEST (Querying Using Enhanced or Extended Search Techniques) – this allows users to search the names database to identify suspects using information gathered as to physical description and personal features. A search can be done of people using only partial descriptions or limited pieces of information.
VODS (Vehicle Online Descriptive Search) – this allows police users to search the vehicles database to narrow the list to potential suspect vehicles using search criteria such as registration, colour and postcode, so again using only partial descriptions or limited pieces of information.

I did rather think there was a mechanism for the police to trace a car by partial number plates.
Even if they looked through the data base at all the RJ60 number plates for Mini Coopers in the surrounding area then whittled it down to red min cooper then red Mini Cooper owned by middle aged men owned or even any red Mini Cooper as it might be owned by one of his children. It might take a few Man hours but it is not rocket science.

Not to excuse an act of crass stupidity - what I suggest the man saw when he came to park was an empty ambulance, and he would assume that the crew were inside a house attending, and the ambulance was empty.
We now know that they were in the ambulance treating a patient, and the circumstances never permit a stranger to move an ambulance, but the situation is not quite as callous as it has been made to appear.
Stupid certainly, but not intentionally life-threatening I am sure.

No Andy it's not an excuse saying he might have thought it was empty. He obviously didn't look properly but in any case how would you feel if someone just popped into your car when the kids were in the back? what if he hadn't been able to control the move he was attempting to do?
Other than the officialdom that has the power to do so he, alning with anyone else does not have the right to enter someone else's property because in this manner.

Indeed it's not, which is why I was careful to start my post by saying "Not to excuse an act of crass stupidity - ..."
// ... but in any case how would you feel if someone just popped into your car when the kids were in the back? //
That's not remotely comparable! What we have here is a man who saw a parked ambulance, made an incorrect assumption about the location of the crew, and tried to move it, none of which is remotely acceptable.
But it does not compare with someone entering a car when he or she can clearly see children inside it. Someone may wrongly obviously) regard a public service vehicle as something they can tamper with, but I doubt that anyone would enter a car in the same situation.
// What if he hadn't been able to control the move he was attempting to do? // Simple conjecture - who knows?

Naomi - that's because you possess an above-average level of intelligence which in turn gives you an ability to think beyond your immediate orbit.
A lot of people - and this man is one of them - simply are unable to think outside their own immediate situation, or to empathise with what is going on around them.
It is this inability to see outside and beyond that causes the lack of anticipation that causes the majority of road accidents.
Every day driving onto my estate, I pass a junction where a resident parks his car on the corner. Any drive pulling onto the road I am on will have to pass this car, into my path, so anticipation dictates that they wait a moment while I pass, and the road is then clear.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the driver will pull out, then have to brake because he has no-where to go - patent lack of anticipation.
It's the world we live in.
