Lightening does strike twice !!!!

Well not sure if anyone can remember , just over 5 years ago I had the plates stolen off my one car !!!! Had loads of hassle ,,,
Guess what , yet again Sunday night June 5th had my plates stolen yet again off my cab guess all my night mares will be starting again !!!! Cost me £100 in replacements so far for the plates , plinths and plate holders and guess hours and hours of phone calls next for all the fines etc !!!

2nd option for me , have you ever tried to remove those one way screw items ????????????????

Trouble with the TX pin option is that every budding numberplate nicker has one of these in his swag bag:

Yes . Easy . cut a slot in them with a Dremel and unscrew them . How often do we need to remove our number plates. ?

Having them difficult to remove by conventional methods is the whole point.

You can get (or rather I have bought in the past) anti tamper plates.
You stick them on with the heavy duty foam double sided sticky strips.
When you pull the plate of the strips, it will snap before it comes off in one piece.

However, at £12 for a set of plates off eBay with next to no checks, I wonder why the crims bother with nicking them off a car.

Sounds like its the same person. What are the chances of it happening twice

 

[Petrol Pete]

Is this car a registered taxi cab ? Seems odd to have had the plates stolen twice . unless a very unfortunate coincidence.

Thing with eBay is , have to have the delivered to an address , so would be recorded I guess

I swap my cars quite regular , this is my trouble , but maybe I should look at theses ,, but they took everything ,, including the bumber plinths

your other option is remove the plates at night... not very practical.. or bond them on so all the backing comes off when they are being stolen.. no good to the thief...

or these anti theft screws.

"Borrow" someone else's plates. Make sure is the same make & model. A friend told me this
