OT Weird!

Strange day! Yesterday (Friday) morning I went out to the car for something. The license plate caught my eye. Wrong number. Checked registration. Sure enough. Car hadn't been moved since early Wednesday morning, Called sheriff. Deputy and I removed plate. He found one of the screws on the ground under the bumper. So evidently the swap was done in my driveway. Deputy did check on plate. Went to registered address. Found that car had replaced plate too - but not mine. Coincidentally, car was same make and model as mine, but four years older. I printed out a 3-day permit to put on back window so I can drive without plate and will go to DMV Monday morning. Wonder what that will cost me? What in the world is going on? Someone is going car to car changing license plates? Dangerous too. Why? Causing lots of wasted time and worry for car owners? Halloween moved to Good Friday? I thought this might be interesting to some of you. Any theories?

Put a screw extractor bit in your cordless and it will spin out anything they put in there.

Would have to be "performed" yearly. Here, the "registration tag" also bears the plate number. So, you'd have to find a plate that has been "recently (re)registered".

And, hope that your victim doesn't notice that his plate "looks different" when he next affixes *his* registration sticker!

I got my "Bahamas" tag off with my pocket knife. I just scored it around the rusted up bolt and wiggled it until the metal parted. This was on a junked truck bumper that was laying face down in the mud in a dump just west of Nassau harbor.
