Plates? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Aloha!

I bought my hatchback ages ago and keep meaning to post... What a fun forum!
I'm learning a lot so far.

Anyway, I had this rockin' license plate for my Blazing Blue Yaris hatchback: SMRFIN. (I hope you can figure that one out. I'm not sure why I had to explain it to so many of my high school students.)

It's a cool plate and all, but imagine my surprise when I came out one morning to see it had been jacked! I mean, who goes around and steals license plates? My students explained that it was probably because it makes a drug reference (Smurfs live under mushrooms = 'shroomer.)

When I filed the police report, the officer said that he's done a LOT of missing plate complaints lately. In fact when I went in to get the replacement, I just showed the police report, paid five dollars, and they just handed me new plates. For some reason, they make you wait a month to get regular numbered plates, but if they're stolen, they magically have them right under the counter!

Anyone else had problems with stolen plates?
