Re: [MBZ] Plates
Despite our somewhat middle class neighborhood, the local kids (and ones that are probably not so local) will walk through the neighborhood at night and try the door handles of any cars parked outside. If unlocked, it's not uncommon for them to steal GPS', sunglasses, etc., anything of value, no matter how insignificant. I am not aware of them actually breaking and entering, but I wouldn't be surprised if to comes to that some day. I consider this stupidity on the part of the owners. My car is parked inside, but my kid's cars are always parked outside, but locked. We have a friend who's son in law is a county sheriff, and he eats dinner at their house every night at 10:00 pm when he's on duty, so if we see anything amiss we'll call over to barbara's house so he can do a quick cruise through the neighborhood on his way out.

Re: [MBZ] plates
I like what they did in Florida a few years ago. Made it mandatory to sell you a new plate even if the old one was perfectly ledgable, at an increased cost of course over just renewing the tag.

Re: [MBZ] plates
Rear plates only for NC, also. Late '57 - Mar '60 I lived in Lincoln, NE. One Sat afternoon I was driving my '51 Chevy with black/yellow NC plate on only the rear, of course, IAW NC law. NE plates were also black/yellow, and from a distance, could be mistaken for each other. Met NE highway patrolman; 'noticed his brake lights immediately in my rear view mirror; I had no fear whatever as I watched him turn around quickly and come rushing up behind me. NE required a front plate; I had none, again, IAW NC law. I was at or below the speed limit and could think of no other infraction I had committed (recently, anyway). He rushed up on my rear bumper close enough to read, North Carolina, on the rear plate, then quickly turned around and went on his way. This happened at a half dozen times during my time in NE, but I was never stopped.
