January17, 2016 AP Press Release

Knoxville, Tennessee

Authorities at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have announced the disappearance of a large number of license plates from vehicles across the state. Anyone with information about these thefts is encouraged to call 900-123-4567. A substantial reward is offered for information leading to the suspects involved in this case.

Local authorities have investigated tire tracks from various crime scenes and have connected these tire patterns to hot rods. Flecks of blue paint were recovered from one location, which were tied to an antique el Camino with Virginia license plates, but those plates were probably stolen, too.

Check your state RMV.. only way here to keep a plate to put on your garage wall/etc is to fill out papers that it was stolen/lost.. Even vanity plates you've paid dearly year after year for..
If, your plate is ever used, you are responsible otherwise , At least here, and I'd think it be the same in many places..
Not say'n the diner owners would use them in a dishonest way, but those eating there might not care..
Here, the tag's are state property that you are basicly leasing. I don't know what fines /charges they might find themselves with, having a tag. I had reported stolen/lost.. I guess if the RMV allows you to check off if it was stolen or if it is lost.. it might be fine.. I can't remember if that was an opinion or not.. or if it was a listed as both with no choice on if it was lost or stolen..

That's not a problem in Texas.

That's not a problem in Texas.

I think those that have been clipped by a vehicle with a tag on it that it shouldn't have.. This is a huge problem..

May 31, AP News Release

Knoxville, Tennessee, 9:14 a.m.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation held a news conference this morning, following up on a January 17 report of a rash of stolen license plates from around the region. Several dignitaries and pompous officials oversaw the barely announced press conference, which was covered exclusively by Channel 9 News, as their intern was coincidentally there at the Law Center paying a parking ticket on a Honda Civic at that exact same time this morning.

Law officials revealed that they had circumstantially identified the blue paint flecks from an antique El Camino and had followed the tire tracks to Fancy Gap, Virginia, where a new restaurant is building up toward Opening Day. Officers found a wall full of completely retired license plates on display from multiple United States, one even from another country other than the United States. There was no attempt on the part of the owners to conceal the evidence. There were enough license plates to support an entire convoy of evil-doers on whatever covert mission the clandestine group was planning.

No arrests were made, but the officers took many 8x10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and displayed them for the extremely limited audience at the news conference.

Officials at the Law Enforcement Center noted that the investigation is ongoing.

We can only hope, if it does go to court, that the judge enters with his seeing eye dog. And then it will be a typical case of American blind justice. And hopefully all of us that donated plates will at least get to sit on the "Group W" bench.

If you pick a date after the 4th of July, I'll make the run! My 'June' is also committed, but I'm wide open after July 4th....
