You're right on the other two though.

That's a lot of time, I know, but I wanted to make sure you're aware. Vote's open for 15 hours after this post, at which point I'll extend it for another hour if there's a tie or close it and start writing if there isn't one.

I'm assuming that the part shops indicated have been robbed, yeah? If that's the case, then the first character that comes to mind is Syd Barlow, the leader of a gang of Duel Runner thieves. So I imagine this thief is probably tied to Syd in some form or fashion, or will be in the future. In any case, the original case seems interesting!

First thing to do in a case: review the evidence. You sit yourself down at your desk and thoroughly read the printed pages the Captain gave you.
Apparently, this past week, ten shops specializing in machines and spare parts were robbed. In each one, the alarms and cameras were disabled first before someone broke a window and entered, making off with well over 10000$ in parts as well as the contents of every cash register and safe. You hum. Ten shops in five days, and... You check the data again. Yeah, the robberies didn't happen every night so whoever this was, there were at least four of them if each robbery was the work of a single person.
Except... that didn't seem right. Some of the things they stole were big and heavy, no way a single person could realistically load them into whatever vehicle they showed up in. No, this was probably done by three people each, so... at least twelve people working together. But why? The cash makes sense, but the parts? They weren't anything special or something you could sell on the black market, so... why take them? There weren't any common threads in the shops hit or merchandise stolen either, like someone just rolled some dice and randomly decided where to go, then just grabbed the first things they saw.
Groaning, you get up and storm over to the coffee machine, making yourself a cup of the black sludge your coworkers decided to buy and gulping it down while still hot. Right, no point in ramming your head against that particular wall anymore. If words on paper won't help you, maybe it's time to go check one of the scenes of the crime in person. After you go talk to the guys in Forensics, you'll grab an officer to go with you and head out to check
[ ]the smaller shop downtown. They had the least damage done to them, having lost the least merchandise. The robbery was also recent, occuring only yesterday. You wonder, does that mean the crooks were in a hurry? Maybe they left something behind.
[ ]the shop over on Oak Street. That one reported losing some stuff commonly used in Duel Runners and they did lose the most items out of the ten on the list. Were the other shops just a smokescreen? Whatever the case, speaking to the store's manager might give you some details about the aftermath of the theft.
[ ]the shop on Royal Straight Avenue, the one Sector Security deals with when buying backup parts for their Runners. You're not sure you could turn up any new information, but if this was meant to target Sector Security in any way, whether by sabotaging your ability to repair busted vehicles or by making you look incompetent, this would be where the thieves would leave a message about it
[ ]the shop on Grand Bridge Alley. That's pretty close to your apartment, and the people there know you. Maybe someone saw something but didn't want to tell the cops? Would they speak with you?
That decision made, you set course for Forensics, walking at a rapid clip to get there as soon as possible. Truth was, you missed being out there, catching criminals and upholding peace. It had only been a week since your last case, but you could already feel your blood singing with impatience. You were never meant to sit still, you were an action person since you were little... you think.
You shake your head. No time to get lost in foggy memories you don't even really have, you have a case to solve. You reach Forensics, rapping on the door and walking in.
"Yo, nerds! I need someone to walk me through the evidence on the Part Shops Case!" you call, a smirk on your face as the people inside turn to look at you at once.
"Good morning to you as well, lieutenant." Rika Kawahana, a petite woman with bark brown hair and bright green eyes, drawls back with a deadpan face before motioning for you to follow. She retrieves a folder and takes a seat at a table.
"Right, the robberies. Whoever did it exhibited a bizarre mix of amateur and professional. Like, for example, they entered by breaking a display window with a brick, but they somehow managed to leave no prints or DNK traces. The way the security systems were disabled also points at a talented hacker, but the security cameras were only really down for about five minutes. In that time, someone spray-painted the lenses black. A living contradiction."
You groan and massage the bridge of your nose. "So, what you're telling me is that we found no traces of anything? So we're at square zero. No idea who did it, no leads, nothing?"
"Well, I wouldn't say that..." the woman demurred, opening the folder before her and turning it around.
You stared. The picture stared back. A black ouroboros spray-painted onto a brick wall, the serpent twisted into a sideways figure eight, each circle containing a diamond.
"A calling card..." you hiss through your teeth. "A new gang or something?"
"That, we do not know. Our informants aren't giving us anything. The image was only painted at three of the ten locations, and all three were hit on different days. We think that only one of the robbers actually paints those, though why we do not know." Rika shook her head.
"Which three?" you ask quickly. When the woman answers, you nod. One of those is the one you decided to check out before anyway.
"Anything else, Rika?" you prod and she shakes her head again.
"We went over all of these with a fine-toothed comb, but usually the fact that they were hit at night and we were only called in next morning meant we didn't find anything of note, unfortunately.
You thank her and leave, mulling things over as you walk toward the garage. What does that snake mean? And why only paint it on three of the ten buildings? Those three weren't particularly close to each other either...
A familiar face approaching shakes you from your funk.
"Corporal Kobayakawa! How are you?" you grin at the woman. Ritsu Kobayakawa was your roommate back at the Police Academy, and the other woman had not changed a bit since. She's still wearing her auburn hair in that short haircut, she's still barely taller than you, her gray eyes are still shining with amusement at the world around her.
"Cleo! I'm doing fine, thanks. You, miss 'Youngest Lieutenant in a Decade'?" she grins back at you and elbows you playfully. You grimace.
"Puzzling over a case, actually. Was just going to go check out one of the crime scenes, see what I can find. You got some time to accompany me, Ritsu?" you admit, smiling when she nods.
"Great, let's go then. Two sets of eyes are better than one, hopefully we can spot the beginning of a trail."
The two of you walked into the station's garage, arranging things with the officer on duty before walking over to
[ ]a pair of Duel Runners, Goyo decks packed up next to them. You were both qualified Turbo Duelists anyway, and they were faster than squad cars.
[ ]a squad car. It isn't as fast as a Duel Runner, but you never got your Turbo Dueling license since your deck relies so heavily on equip spells. This is fine too, and probably a more comfortable ride anyway.
The garage doors open and you start burning rubber toward your destination.
