Pity some of them have the reg listed in the details then!

Although having looked for an example it looks like that's all changed now 
EBay have linked up with HPI...

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "reg" 
saying something like:

Aye; there's a real shortage of cars in the streets to clone from.

The point is... it's easier for your not so average scrote to search for the 
ideal match for whatever vehicle it is they wish to clone, on ebay (amongst 
other sites), than roaming the streets in the hope of spotting something 
vaguely suitable to clone the plates from.

That, and finding a good match that doesn't happen to be on your doorstep 
helps remove some of the elements that may get you rumbled, as in, unless a 
copper runs your plate through the PNC and gets suspicious as to why a car 
is so far from its registered territory, you are unlikely to get so easily 
spotted by any Joe Public that happen to recognise the plate, and know the 
real owner etc.

As well as that, how many streets do you know that have many thousands
of cars parked on them and computerized search facilities? If you have
a 1996 blue Fiesta that you want a new number for, what are you going
to do? Trudge around the streets until you find one, or do a quick
search on eBay?

Cheers,

My number plates got nicked a month after I got my nice shiny new Avensis. 
Plod said v.common, as they are used to evade bus lane and Ken Tax in 
London. Several hundred reported a week in my area. Six neighbours have had 
this.

Now,  you might wonder why they'd nick the plates off a 2004 car, when they 
are almost certainly gonna put them on  some clapped out jobbie. I've got 
personal plates. (yes, poser!). And they could  go on a very, very old 
car.... it  won't fool Plod, but the AVC checks on Ken Tax and bus lane 
cameras mean that they can't go  after the perp for the fine. Or me, 
thankfully.

Both Plod and my garage where I got the new plates recommended Superglue. I 
was also recommended to make sure I got the original dealer to remake the 
plates, or it might have looked odd when I traded in or sold the thing.

This, of course, is also yet another hidden effect and cost of Ken Tax.

Why would it look odd if the plates didn't come from the original dealer?

The original dealer sold me the car, and the plates had their name on as 
well. If they aren't the original, it might be a ringer, or damaged in a 
bump, or had some other nefarious thing happen. The plates cost exactly the 
same from the dealer as Halford's,  so it made  sense on all counts.

But it's such hard work trudging the streets looking for a 1997 Fiat 
Fandango in Beetroot Red - much easier to let your fingers do the 
walking ... err hasn't someone already used that phrase.

Imagine winning an auction for one of these cars, going round to collect it 
and the number plate really does have a Photoshop type blur on it...

lol there is nothing wrong with having the knoledge although hes
actually talking about ringing (thats where you normally sell the
vehicle on hence you need the logbook) and not cloning theres a
difference when your driving a clone you dont really need the log book
(Its helpful to know who the car is registered to in case you get
pulled) so you can say i bought it off so and so or its my mate so and
so's car.

You normally pick a car from a nice area that is likely to be taxed and
have no crime reports on the vehicle that way if you pass through a
police anpr camera it will not trigger any alerts and if the police
pull you for whatever reason normally they only run the vrm (reg no) so
if you have done it right the reply they get will be of a vehicle the
same make model colour etc with the desired words "no reports " he may
ask whos the car it is hence trying to find out the owner / keeper
details you can either say hes a mate or youve just bought it from him
within the last week.

Not that i would encourage anyone but if you where tempted to do
something along those lines do it with a hire car if your pulled the
police will run the plate see its a hire car know its insured and
probably wont give a toss.

(The above is for disussion purposes only anyone using these hints does
so at there own not very great risk)

Either that or you've been out on the piss the night before.......:-)
