Default Some People

Honestly who the F steals someones license plate. Yeah I know they can use it on another vehicle but come on do people really have no shame.

If I ever see someone stealing a license plate, and its not a prank, I am going to give them a nice mushroom stamp right across their face.

So anyways come out to empty my gas tank on my motorcycle becuase its getting picked up tomorrow, because of it being totalled out through insurance not my fault and the gave me a damn good settlement. and I see it im like WTF who the shiot stole my plate. The nerve! and they had to take it when my car was up on jack stands too . well I think I better go overlook the rest of the car now.

Personally if I find this person I am going to take the plate back and leave them a nice windshield full of broccoli & cheese-panda express-del taco-carl's jr. hershey squirts. and god help them if their window is open.

Dumbass people. Sorry man. This seems to be a reoccuring problem. The only reason I can see why someone would do this is maybe for the registration tag for the current year?

After I put mine on, I cut it with a knife so it's impossible to take off.

I don't see why someone would do this ****. You aren't the first to report this issue.

Ya. I was pretty furious bout that, $hit I still am. Cost me 30 for new stickers, and 60 to replace the personalized plates. And it's a 3 month wait because Folsom prison is on lock down, and the prisoners are actually the ones that make them.

The velcro was an insiders secret tho, no one knew about it cept for peeps I kick it with. Comes in handy when you're making that "get away" from Mr. Johny Five - O...

after you put on the sticker, you get an x-acto blade, or razor blade and cut GIANT X's into the sticker. That way, if anyone tries to peel off your sticker, only pieces of it will come off, and then it's no good to the thief. (well, the sticker's no good, If they want the plate, they'll still get it)

Gotcha. Did not realize that. IL plate stickers (I keep my registered there cause I am in the military) already come made with something like that. They come apart in little pieces when you take them off.

Cutting your tags doesn't help if your plate is stolen or if you have a build-up of previous tags (they'll take the whole chunk).

Here's an option: strip the bolts (or fill them in with epoxy) holding in your rear plate. Drastic... yes. Effective... yes.

how about putting Plastic explosives behind the license plate filled with bolts, nuts, nails, screws, marbles, metal shavings, etc...and have a pull release so when somebody tries to pull your license plate off.........goodnight. Make sure you have a safety shut off switch so you don't jack yourself up.
