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?

I had my plates stolen off my car a couple of years ago.

A real pain.

Police report.

TMR

$’s

Tell everyone the new number:

insurance
tolls
parking
work

Assumed they were taken so a stolen car could pretend to be me. Therefore reporting and making them of less value to the thieves was top of mind. And making sure fines and tolls could be knocked back.

From memory with the police report number it’s legal to drive for 14(?) days.

Once you’ve noticed one, you keep seeing more, it’s like seeing the same model of car as yours every day when you had not noticed seeing them before buying one.
