Having a private plate does give you extra protection from license plate thieves as they do prefer to steal generic ordinary plates that don&#8217;t stand out from the crowd, but it doesn&#8217;t mean it won&#8217;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just the loss of the physical plates and the resulting replacement costs you have to deal with, the stolen plates could well be used in a crime. You could end up with a speeding fine or parking ticket if your plates are used on another vehicle, or your plates could be used in a robbery. If the plates are then spotted on CCTV or someone makes a note of the registration, the car used in the crime will be traced back to you, and you could end up with the police on your doorstep accusing you of a bank robbery!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not hard to protect your plates, what you need are tamper-proof screws to attach your plates to your vehicle. They&#8217;re not too expensive to buy, and if you buy your plates from Speedy Reg, we provide tamper-proof screws free of charge. These screws are just as easy to use to attach a plate as ordinary screws, but they cannot be removed with breaking the plates.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Praisaeng \/ FreeDigitalPhotos.net\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a spate of license plate thefts in Derby, motorists around the country are once again being urged to take precautions to protect their plates.
