Criminals Target Average Number Plates

I have been writing for cherished plates now for quite a number of weeks covering mostly the news. While I have been doing that I am noticing that some of the main stories to pass across my desk are those involving the theft of number plates and the use of them in organized crime all around the country.

Cherished numbers are at less of a risk because generally criminals will want to keep a low profile before and after a crime instead of having an eye catching registration plate drawing unwanted eyes their way.

However for those of us who have average old plates, dose it not seem a little odd that we aren’t taking extra precautions to make sure their plates don’t get stolen.

You wouldn’t leave your front door open during the night and just hope nobody decides in making off with the telly, so why do millions of us just leave our identities (in the form of our registration plates) sitting outside completely unprotected from theft.

Don’t get me wrong. Chances are that even if you leave your plate as it is you won’t become victim of plate theft, and it’s also true that thousands have already gone to the bother of getting their plates fixed securely.

In my opinion its time for everyone to wake up and smell the coffee. We live in a world of crime and it’s necessary to protect yourself. My advice is to anyone and everyone who’s plates are simply screwed on, go and get them professionally fixed to your car so that the only way their coming off.
