Which incident is represented by code 41/09V?

Understanding how Dallas codes convey urgency for vehicle-related incidents is the key. The combination 41/09V is the shorthand for Unauthorized Use of Motor Vehicle in Progress, meaning someone is using a vehicle without the owner's permission and the situation is currently happening. The 41 family covers unauthorized vehicle use, and the suffix/modifier 09V indicates the action is ongoing, signaling responders to intervene promptly and locate the vehicle. The other descriptions describe entirely different situations (a welfare/child issue, a routine meet with the complainant, or a street blockage), so they don’t match the meaning of this code.
