Perhaps the Prius was stolen, and that is why they are not looking for the owner, but the driver?
Good point missy1970! I just found this article from Nov 2012. Makes me wonder if the crime or police call log would be listed online for a period before Dan's death up until recent days. Maybe you're spot on!

As if there weren't enough practical reasons to buy a Toyota Prius hybrid, here's another: It's apparently so dorky that thieves won't steal it.
The National Insurance Crime Bureau says despite its popularity, the Prius has a much lower theft rate than other cars and a much higher recovery rate. Could that mean that even when it's stolen, thieves can't wait to give it back?
No surprise here: The states with the most Prius thefts happen to be the most populous or Sunbelt states where the car is popular. They include California (1,062), Florida (127), New York (111), Washington (92) and Texas (89).
