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.

The car could have been used in a ram-raid or as a getaway vehicle.
Mr Gonzo senior received a visit from the police a couple of years ago after a car with his registration plates was used in a ram-raid. The police didn't think that it was likely to be him but they had to check.
I spoke to scenes of crime when they came to get the finger prints and they gave me my plates back.

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostInteresting to see what comes through the post. Last September I made a huge mistake of selling a car at auction rather than scrapping it. Got about the same money. I told DVLA immediately but I still got a drive off without paying for petrol and a parking offence. BIth cancelled - but its still annoying.
Luckily had all the paperwork from the auction house and the DVLA saying I was no longer the owner.
