this might just be me but lately i’ve seen like 5 cars without their number plates on driving around

is this a tiktok (or more likely) a facebook trend?

Yes, especially the ones with one plate. That's how mine was, they took off the front plate, and left the rear one on. Now that I know, I'm always on the lookout on the other side of the road.

They will take a plate from a similar car to the stolen vehicle. They will then drive around, pretending to be you,

In some cases, they won’t even bother stealing a plate and they will just buy a “novelty” plate from an online retailer, driving around in a car they didn’t pay for and racking up tolls and fines under your name!
