A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates to get free gas. Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and running. The gas station will have 'your' license plate # and you could be in trouble for 'pump and run.'
Check your car periodically to be sure you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a report immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always know it's there! When the license plate is reported as the 'drive off vehicle', it's YOU they contact! Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates, most of us never look to see if the plates are there or not.

This is great information. I am guilty of not looking at my plates.
So they steal my plates and I am in trouble for stealing gas? I would think this would be difficult to prove especially if the video shows a different make and model at the pump with my plates. Or the attendant reports a different make, model or color vehicle than what the DMV has documented. It would be a mess I am sure.
The gas prices are causing many problems. I have jokingly said at the grocery store, "Well, I am opting to feed my family this week and not the car."
I still have trouble understanding why our vehicles do not get better MPG.
Great article. Everyone should pay attention.
