It has been widely reported the increase in stolen number plates in recent years. Recent figures suggest over 40,000 sets of number plates are taken each year. Motorists can take steps to reduce their exposure to such a crime by securing the plates with specialist fittings.
For just a few pounds motorists can use security number plate fixings to secure their number plates. Specially designed screws are screwed in as normal but cannot be unscrewed due to the design of the screw head. There are several different styles of security number plate fixings on the market and you can secure both number plates for just a few pounds.
With rising fuel costs unfortunately number plate theft is likely to be here to stay. That coupled with the fact motorists who have their car number plates stolen usually end up with parking and speeding fines etc. A little bit of forethought preventing the theft of the number plates now could save inconvenience and expense in the future.
