Corsa's seem to be a prime target, i know three people who have had number plates pinched from there corsa's, one person twice. Guess it's the car of choice for the young scumbags people of today. I hope it wont cause you to much trouble in the future if they do use the plates for criminal act's  >:(

i park my car too close to the wall for anyone to get fingers down the front of my bumper for the plates, got it off to an art of parking without hitting the wall and only leaving a paper thin gap!!

What I failed to mention on here was that last Wednesday night (2.30 am) a Corsa stopped in the road and one occupant got out and started eyeballing Corsas (there are three in the road). My neighbour spotted them and one guy shouted out "Come on, Steve, there's someone at the window!" and scarpered. The police were told about this. My hunch is that, for some reason the plates were "stolen to order".

Look out for a "Steve" driving a Corsa.  ;)

Astra and meriva mate. ::)

Main dealers do plates fairly cheap, 8 quid iirc and BS approved unlike ebay tat. I have also seen on the wall of our VX service dept Nik, some plates, which when trying to remove unlawfully, break up into bits, exactly for this purpose. Sounds like just the trick  :y
