Rising petrol price provokes number plates thefts

September 25th, 2008

Petrol prices are rising all over the world and this is having a knock on effect on other things such as food prices. However an unusual consequence of the rise in price appears to be a huge increase in the theft of number plates from other peoples’ cars. Dishonest or desperate people are stealing the plates, fitting them to their own cars while they fill up with petrol and drive off without paying. CCTV footage taken is rendered useless in fact while the police visit the home of the registered keeper of the stolen plates the criminals make good their getaway.
