Fail to Stop and S172

Watching a lot of Traffic Cops and the like, got me wondering,
when a car makes off from the police, and gets away, is it
standard procedure to issue an S172 to the Registered Keeper?
Obviously some will be keeperless, but it would still serve as
some sort of punishment to those that are registered and means
they could only do it twice before losing their licence.

I suspect that, rather than sending an s172, the standard
procedure would be for the RK to get a knock on his door at 6.00
the next morning.

I think the standard procedure might also be for the RK to say
"Oh my gosh officer my car's been stolen, it was on the drive
when I went to bed last night!"

And if anything like our local force, they would believe him as
well. My wife runs the cemeteries for a local authority and had
a call one Sunday morning letting her know that a car had
entered the cemetery via a method usually seen in the Dukes of
Hazard, smashing through gates, hitting a small hill and
clearing the first sets of headstones.
Their CCTV showed it coming down the road, attempting to pull
the kerb without slowing, clipping a car and losing control
before ending up where it did. Her office cameras showed a man
stumble out, lock the door before making off across the road.
Now despite all this and the RK only living around 50 yards from
the Cemetery, the police said they had no evidence to refute his
claim of the vehicle being stolen. They didn't even consider
compiling some awkward questions for him, like why didn't he
report it as soon as he realised it was in the middle of the
Cemetery opposite him, they just left it as NFA.

How do you know what questions they asked, or considered asking?
