there the best deal, it makes you feel sick when you come out to your car find your plates missing, the old bill turn up and ask you to confirm where you have been as its been involved in a fill and burn or some other more serious criminal offence.
They give you a crime no after proving your innocence and then the fun really starts, more enquiries form other forces speeding tickets, parking tickets and other traffic offence paperwork that then cause stress as you have to keep writing to the relevent police force ticketing office to inform them you own the registration but the plates where stolen.
To much effort hence why i screwed and capped. This wasn;t a personal experiance but get incidents like this reported regularly at work.
I with you on this, I meet to many people that have had their plates stolen, the hassle of having the plates stolen and having to replace them is just the start always screwed on here.
