Even hoodlums don&#8217;t know the rules anymore. It used to be, in my day, when you needed to steal a license plate, you only stole the front plate. This way, the person whom you stole the plate from wouldn&#8217;t notice for weeks that a plate was missing, and therefore wouldn&#8217;t report it, and you could go on your merry way with the stolen plate on the back of your unregistered vehicle.<br \/>\n<em>That&#8217;s the way we did it when we were young, dammit!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But just two weeks ago, what happens? My girlfriend&#8217;s plates are stolen from her new car &#8212; both plates! We see the car in the parking lot, and an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macphoenix.com\/lounge\/movies\/\">eagle-eyed friend<\/a> notices the plates are gone, so we call the police who file a report. So what did the thief get away with? Nothing! It wasn&#8217;t vandalism, since the car was not marked up in any other way. It was just stupid, because now the plates are worthless.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case you see New York plates with the number <b>ALL 7111<\/b>, feel free to beat the perp\u2026 I mean, driver, about the head with the dumb stick, &#8217;cause he&#8217;s probably used to it by now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is this world coming to?
