In the captain's office, you'll get your next case, concerning the location of a car that was reported stolen.
Stolen Vehicle Call
As you pull up, you'll see the car leaving a house and it doesn't stop for you. You'll need to take out the car to get your hands on the driver of the stolen vehicle. The driver, Cliff Harrison, says he bought the car fair and square, and he does have some legitimate looking paperwork. Still, the car was reported stolen, so you'll need to ask him some questions.

After the interview, you'll meet Ray Pinker from technical services. He'll tell you that the Marquee Printing company is the only business in town that has the government contract to print those pink slips. He's already talked with one Gordon Leitvol at the company and will give you the name and address. Before you can leave, you'll also get a hit on the APB you put out on Jean Archer. She's at a Western Union office just down the street. You can make it down there before she leaves if you hurry, and the location is already marked on your map.

When you get to see the ledger, since you already know the bad guy's name and the address of the car ring, go ahead and tap on the line with the name "S. Bigelow" and the address "58 Industrial St". That's pretty much all you needed to know, so it's time to take down the car ring.
58 Industrial Street
Since you know the place is full of "goons" from Jean Archer, you're not taking any chances. Once your partner gets around back, you'll announce yourself and a gunfight will ensue. Take out the first guy, then make your way inside and find some cover. Make the guy with the machine gun your priority, and pick it up when you move forward. When you get upstairs, waste the last two guys, then enter the office at the end. Inside you'll find Bigelow and you can search the office.
