Cribbed from
WTOP News,
“WASHINGTON — Fairfax County detectives are hoping to jog some memories in people who may help solve a March 2016 sexual assault and robbery in Springfield.
Monday evening, police canvassed in the 7000 block of Commerce Street, going door to door and handing out flyers.
On March 30, 2016, police responded for the report of a robbery.
A 40-year-old woman was walking alone behind a shopping center, when a man pulled her into a dumpster, robbed her and sexually assaulted her. She went home, and called police.
Fairfax County police released surveillance video of the suspect walking and driving an older model red car, with a large white or gray patch on the driver’s door.
The suspect was described as an Hispanic man, who is between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-9, and approximately 150 pounds.”
So, can the best car community on the internet ID this car?

Looks like a 6th generation Honda Civic coupe to me.

Do they even need more description? This is like a 6'8" guy with a 3-foot beard and a facial tattoo in terms of easy identification. The exact make/model is just a minor detail. Good thing it wasn’t a 2010 silver Accord.

Makes me wonder if they’ve gotten any feedback on the make or model yet. Not seen a single post from FCPD on the matter.

Redacted because it was a bad comment and I have brought shame upon my house.

Looks like a late 1980's Toyota Tercel.

I was talking analogously about the car — shouldn’t be hard to spot.

No idea. I told them what it was last year, so I don’t know why they don’t just publish it. :)
Seriously though... I read a lot of positive ID in the replies to the original tweet. I don’t know why they have printed it.

It’s an unpainted black replacement cover, or a used black one.

Did they have a disclaimer on the Twitter handle that it’s unmonitored?
