A customer calls 911 after his Toyota Tundra — left at a mechanic shop over a month ago for a $549 repair — is reported stolen by the mechanic himself. What Officer Hayden discovers on July 29, 2025 is a web of unauthorized vehicle use, a missing $16,000 truck, and an alibi that falls apart the moment he checks the store's opening hours. We analyze the legality of the investigative detention, Georgia's theft by conversion statute (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-4), operating without a license (O.C.G.A. § 40-5-20), and the officer's use of physical evidence to dismantle a false alibi — all through the lens of established constitutional law and case precedent including Terry v. Ohio (1968) and Berkemer v. McCarty (1984). OUTCOME: Smith was convicted guilty on both charges. Felony theft by conversion: 1 year. Driving without a license: 6 months (concurrent). The customer's truck was never recovered.
