    I have heard of peoples number plates used after being shown on public photos off facebook.

    Crooks are quite ingenious when it comes down to it.

    She checks and there isn't one on the front either.

    Thieving scum.

    All reported and the number is flagged on the PNC, warned the wife she may get pulled over.
    This happens when you live in a caravan park.

    Thats exactly what happened to me, number plates were taken off the car one night so i reports it to plod they advised we may get stopped when we replace the plates as they will come up stolen on the ANPR (no prob with that) then a couple of hours later a neighbour spots the plates (personal reg) on a car in the next street, the car was stolen and had been used in a ram raid on the local shop then they dumped it.

    I spoke to scenes of crime when they came to get the finger prints and they gave me my plates back.

    Had a similar isue a few years back, sold the car at auction and within a month was called by the Police in Wales saying there was some dodgy builder taking deposits and not doing any work.

    Luckily had all the paperwork from the auction house and the DVLA saying I was no longer the owner.

    These airport parking companies are supposed to be secure!
