My entire adult life, I've heard various people tell me that I need to score my tabs after putting them on "so no one can steal them". I've known many people like myself that find this idea absurd, and don't bother with scoring. How did this idea become mainstream advice?

One time, I had my expired plates stolen off a car I owned. The plates expired many years ago, the car died and sat quite a few years before I was able to get rid of it. What is someone doing with expired plates? The car next to it had valid plates. How dumb are people???

    Decorate the inside of their barn with them!

    Add new fake stickers pretty easily. Details like that are often overlooked by cops unless they have a real reason to look further. Can get pretty far without plates, so just a cursory glance will pass.
