I understand that but they did it fast enough to get the police to the house
before the father arrived there with the son. So while they might well have
gotten the address of the owners home from people at the airport I doubt the
N-number had anything to do with it.

You never heard the old saying, "You can outrun a Ford but you can't
outrun a Motorola?" This ain't rocket science.

It would take a matter of seconds to call in the N-number, look it up on
the FAA or other websites, and dispatch a car in the area to the residence.

Anyway, since the Doc was bringing the trophy home to the folks, he
probably stopped first at the local car-wash to hose it off.

And, if you might understandably refuse to be flippant about such a
tragedy, that's understandable -- but at least keep in mind that people
often do some very weird stuff when they are in shock.
