Stolen number plates

[Saint in Paradise]

Just read an interesting thread on another Forum about having your cars number plates stolen. I thought it would be to put on another car to disguise it in a robbery,

avoiding speeding camera tickets or drive away without paying for petrol but something I hadn't thought of was, probably because I am not a total criminal :-

 

"That's because the "crime" being committed is that of driving without tax, insurance, mot and/or licence in the same colour/model of car as yours.

Any time the "clone" goes through an ANPR check it gets flagged as your car with insurance, tax, etc, so the scrotes are sitting pretty until they have

an accident or get flagged for any other reason. So if they are careful there is no reason for Plod to pull them over so no chance of their little scam being rumbled."

 

An excellent idea to help avoid these tickets however rather than just saying you were not there, sometimes difficult to remember exactly where you were

and indeed prove it. is to do what this poster said :-

 

"Just a thought - did your numberplates have the blue GB/Euro stars panel on the lefthand side - or perhaps the Saltire? If so, suggest you order plain

replacement plates without these (or with them if you didn't have them on the original plates) so that at least when the scrotes trigger a speed camera

the photographic evidence will show that the plates are on the cloned car and not the genuine one. Same for photographic evidence from filling stations

re fuel thefts or any other crime involving CCTV evidence."

I have a Tracker fitted to my car so I can prove where my car was (and how fast it was going) at any time and it's permissible as evidence in court.

 

Obviously, you only tell the authorities you have when fitted if gets you off a charge and keep stum if it implicates you.

What would you do if the plods said you were involved in a robbery but your car

tracker said that at that time you were doing 150 M.P.H.?

There is if the original owner reports his number plates having been nicked and confirms he is owner of that registered car. With a simple cross check it'd flash up straightaway as soon as a copper went anywhere near it

If the person did not steal the number plates but just got some "show plates" made up no one would know. Show plates can be purchased from abroad.
