I feel like i'm missing part of the story. You reported a stolen license plate and it got translated to a stolen car?


I had two plates, and I guess one fell off or got stolen or something. So I still had my back plate on. Since the PD never confirmed anything after the online report, I figured I would have to go down and do it in person some time. But apparently not.

Since there was zero confirmation, this means you can just do the same to anyone. If the person is particularly jumpy, disabled, has mental issues, etc. it could easily get serious.


He found it and put it on the car, it sounds like.
