The Tukwila Police Department (TPD) had a few clever comments for a suspected car prowler.

TPD released a statement, via Facebook on Friday, asking those involved with multiple car prowls to turn themselves in.

An SUV, its license plate, and all “nefarious acts” were caught by surveillance cameras, the department stated.

“Kudos to whatever you do to stay looking young! You haven’t aged a day since your DOL photo was taken!” TPD cheekily wrote.

The department then asked for the perpetrator to reveal themselves through an edgy request to join them in court, saying, “Keep an eye out in the mail for your coupon for one free court appearance for vehicle prowling and malicious mischief.”
