NCIC doesn't do anything about stolen vehicles. It's simply a national database that flags stoeln property, missing and wanted persons. When a law enforcement officer runs an article, vehicle or person through NCIC, the result returned will be either that the item or person in question is clear of if there's a record. In the case of a vehicle, NCIC would return either a clear or stolen record. The law enforcement agent will then take the appropriate action. In order to return a hit (stolen), a vehicle first has to have been entered into NCIC as such by a aw enforcement official.
