A few weeks ago a customer "bought" about $121 worth of stuff. Just when he was about to pay he grabbed the bag, yelled "Don't call the cops" and sped off. We chased after him and got his license plate but it was 11:30 at night. We got a full description of his and his girlfriend because talked to everyone in the store.
Last week the police called and said they ran the plate number and the person we described doesn't match the owner. and said that because it was dark a mistake might have been made like the 7 might have been a 1, the 8 might have been a 3 etc. We're sure the first 2 and the last 2 are correct. The police said that they will try other combinations.
Just how much longer is this case going to be open? I had already forgotten about this case when they called. As badly as I want this guy caught, the police have more important things to do.

I live in a middle sized city where crime is pretty low. The only violent crime that usually occurs is domestic.

It will remain open until they either make some progress or determine that it is not possible to do so. It's really hard to say how long that will be.

It will remain open until they can get a plate registered to someone matching the description that you gave. It may take days, or weeks. Be patient. It will happen.

depends on what city you live in and other types of crime that occur that may be more important. The case probably will not be closed because he or she may strike again.

It will stay open as long as they need it to. If you want an update from time to time, give them a call. An officer will gladly give you any information they have.
