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.

I wonder about making overseas property buying reciprocal.

Country A permits Australians to buy there then they can buy here.

Country B does not permit Australians to buy then we reciprocate and they are out of the game.

Obvious concerns are straw-man buyers and buying through companies but I'm certain that folk cleverer than me could work out how to resolve these.

I suspect greedy REAs and politicians can and will circumvent whatever is implemented.
