Snooping for suspects

We need to narrow down the list of suspects for the kidnapping of Bayes. Once we have a list of suspects, we'll ask them for writing samples and compare them to the ransom note.

A witness to the crime noticed a green truck leaving the scene of the crime whose license plate began with 'FRQ'. We'll use this information to search for some suspects.

As a detective, you have access to a special function called lookup_plate.

lookup_plate accepts one positional argument: A string representing a license plate.
