Question that keeps bugging me

I didn't see this anywhere in the goofs, but, how do the police find out where Eddie took Clark's boss to? It shows the wife calling the police, but that was after Eddie had already left with her husband, so she couldn't have followed him. She obviously didn't know who Eddie was so they couldn't have traced back to Clark that way.

I can't remember, did she know he was in the RV? They could have followed the RV or had a helicopter search for the RV. They don't drive very fast, so it would be easy to follow. But I treat these movies as live action cartoons. A lot of stuff happens that don't make sense, but it's ok cause it's still funny.
