Someone whipped me number plate!

HughiusMaximus · 11-24-2012, 06:38 AM

So I was walking back to the car last night and got that nagging feeling 'something isn't right here...'

Then it hit me that the front number plate was missing.
First I thought that it was all the flooding around Bristol over the last few days, but then when I saw that the surround had been screwed into the bumper that I realised that someone must have whipped it.
I have reported it to the police and have picked up a new plate, just need to get a new surround now.

Can anyone recommend one that doesn't look chavtastic?...

Got a feeling someones done a petrol job or something criminally minded with your plate but you will be okay as you have reported it

You may want to put a sticker in the front and rear screen,so that your car can be identified as being the 'original'.
This will help when ANPR images are viewed as your plate may be put onto a knock-off.
If you do decide to do this,update the Police,so that the marker can reflect this.
Unfortunately,as a by-product,expect to be stopped,so have your crime number to hand!
