not only should they search their database of car registration to get a list of owners, but they can also cross reference it with know thieves prone to public masturbation!

because there could only be what a handful of those cars floating around the UK...... erm hate to break it to you, this is not the third world, owning a car is not a novelty, just like the US the majority of homes have a car too, sure not 2 or 3 cars like the US but still at least 1 car, even if there were only 100 of those cars sold in the UK, thats 100 leads that need to be followed, i dont think any police force has that kind of spare man power, especially for just a (what appears to be) mundane auto theft

now what may work is if you got a fancy facial recognition software plugged into a photo driver license database, unfortunately the UK hasn't been very proactive in ensuring their population opt into the photo driver license system, in reality seeing as it's a pretty decent picture of the dude it's alot easier to release this into the public domain and ask if anyone knows of the guy who looks like him and owes or driven a car that looks like the one in the picture, the majority of crimes are solved this way
