Stolen Number Plates Options

[patriboo]

Hey All,

So I came back to my Celica after a **** day at work today to find both my number plates missing... I reported it to the police who said this was very common and not much to worry about?

My initial thoughts that I'd the police on my door tomorrow morning arresting me for a bank robbery however from looking on the web it appears the more common use for this is

- Congestion charge avoidance
- Petrol Station drive offs
- Parking fines

Has this happened to anyone else, am I in for a flood of speeding, parking and congestion charge fines?

Is it worth re-registering the car wth a new plate?

Cheers?

You won't be getting the tickets I'm sure because they probably change the plates so that they won't get called on those tickets if they get pulled over (if the cop runs your plates, they'll hopefully come up clean so they can just drive off with a ticket and steal new plates...)

Since you reported it, you shouldn't have problems, but I'm sure that you have to go to the DMV and report it and get new plates...I know that here if you drive on the road without visible plates there's a huge penalty fine...
