I used theft resistant bolts to secure the new plate.

I suspect that a guy who did after-hours car work (what else can you do if you can't sleep due to being tweaked on drugs?) down the street years ago after I noted to his wife that I saw two vehicles with the same license plate on opposite sides of the street. I also used some anti-theft bolts on the replacement license plates.

Thanks for sharing,
I moved my naked front plat to the rear before putting my new sticker on.

Here's what I do with the registration stickers. What you do after you stick the new one on is to make diagonal slices across the sticker then make cross diagonal slices. I use a utility knife with a razor.

That way, it'll be impossible to steal the sticker and it be still usable.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Only ever have 1 on a plate. I like the idea of slicing them. I clean the old sticker off with my baby Swiss army then, clean the whole plate with glass cleaner. Put on the new sticker and be certain there is no air pocket beneath it.

I may have to start slicing them, removing the old stickers. I’m usually in lower crime areas, but registration costs keep going up.

How the hell do they not look up the plate number and see that it's current?

Um yea!! How could you get a window ticket for an offense they never verified? Because you dont have a sticker on your plate is automatically invalid?
