she asked us not to show her face. police say both of these crimes are the work of thieves who cloned the cars they stole, creating new vehicle identification numbers and new vin plates for the vehicles, masking the car's true identity and making the vehicles much more difficult to find. >> it's the reason we have the numbers and license plates on cars to show that this is unique to the owner for better or for worse. >> reporter: lieutenant david coleman is with the police. >> many people are affected. >> reporter: they found car cloners have struck hundreds of times along the east coast, including recent incidents in virginia and maryland. some later selling the illegally cloned cars to unsuspecting buyers. >> everybody we're dealing with in these vin cloning operations are for-profit thieves. >> reporter: an increasingly lucrative scheme as more people try to buy cars

>> we will 1.24 inches of rain over towards dulles. some areas were getting 1- 2 inches per hour. it was coming down very, very quickly. 62 degrees. the rain just about done no the city. temperatures all across the area. we hit 70s and 80s today, and that primed the inferiatmospher some of these storms. here's storms right here, making their way through. now you can siee the heaviest rain down towards the south. we had two storms develop, right here, and they went in opposite directions, and take a look at this. this is really amazing. look at these severe weather impacts. you can see those, and one more storm came through this area. each one of these little circles is a severe weather marker, whether it be hail more wind, winds upwards of 60

area. we saw flash flood warnings, baseball-sized hail in rockville, i've never seen that. i've lived here more than half my life and have never seen baseball-sized hail in the metro area. we saw it today. heavy rain down towards the south. don't drive through any flooded roadways down there. the northern neck will get hit again. this rain will continue tonight. the heaviest is moving out, but we still have an upper level system that will enhance this area of rainfall and we can expect more rain by tomorrow morning. here we go, by 3:00, starting to develop. much by 7:00, 7:00 a.m. at the bus stop, you will most likely need that umbrella. chance of showers for sure, maybe moderate rain. you'll need the umbrella at times during the day. so even a few showers around 3:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon. so that impact forecast tomorrow, we've got it on the low side because any rain tomorrow should be scatter

showers and should be mainly light, but carry the umbrella just in case. and maybe the jacket too, because we're back into the 60s, 65 tomorrow, 60 in d.c. on your thursday. remember, 60 in d.c. means an58n some of the cooler suburbs. you can see the next couple of days unsettled with some showers likely. >> all right, thank you, doug. coming up, the caps fall to the penguins, but they're
