Someone nicked my number plates last night!

[Russell]

Got up this morning to find four screws on the floor and no reg plates on my car...

Idiots.

I'm now sitting waiting to see how many parking fines/congestion charge demands/speeding tickets etc I get through th epost in the next few weeks.

Poo.

i take it you informed the police..they will give you a log/incident number ..you mention speeding and parking offences..might be upgraded to theft and robberies :x

Yes, the idea that the five-o might be banging my door down in the early morning for crimes I didn't commit is quite exciting.

i've never understood crims who steal plates...can't you still buy them off ebay for about a tenner?

if you are going to commit crime..you nick the plates of a car that you as the scrote/crim are going to use to commit the offence..usually if the car thats had the plates stolen from is a high powered vehicle..range rover/audi/bmw..that might suggest very high value target..bank/money/jewellery..ram raid..

Hope this all makes sense

nah i understand why they do it...

but what i'm saying is that if they had any common sense would find a car that matched. Example : They have stolen a black range rover, you find another black range rover...write down the numberplate...order the plates off ebay. Put plates on stolen Range rover. Commit crimes...

The moment you steal the plates, it means that the owner is going to alert the police that the plates are stolen...so then your clean plates are worthless because its on a database.

If instead you have ordered them off ebay you have the same plates as the landrover on the drive, but the guy who owns the clean car wouldn't realise that their car has been cloned untill the police kick in his door...

You could go for a longer period before anyone notices and you have to change the plates again.

any reputable "plate" dealer you need your "V5/log book" to verify you are the owner..also when the dealer "presses" the plates their post code goes on the plate..If a crime was going to be committed usually quickly after the plates have been removed from the "donor" car..so you have day 8 hours/over night to do the deed..A.N.P.R automatic number plate recognition..this is link to P.N.C. police national compter..if an index number has been used in "sus" activity the database will show this..These are link to speed camera/traffic cameras..why do you think alot of terror/crimes plots are caught in the early stages
Hope i have not "gone" on

ah they've changed the rules on plate printing then?

i thought you got yourself a 'vanity plate' for 'decoration purposes only' then you didn't have to present a V5 / log book.

I got the impression that "any number plate" that refers to a car..iytallic/font/display all needed a V5..i could be wrong :?
