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?

    After having my car stolen and learning about how these people operate, they’re all most likely stolen vehicles.

        A car walks into a bar and the bartender says ‘hey did you lose a plate?’, and the car goes ‘nah I found one’.

        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!
