PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 21, 2011 - 21st August 2011. Staffordshire, UK. Anyone interested in number plates, driving, cars and protecting personal data will have noticed that with the huge increase in fuel prices, there has been an equally huge increase in the theft of number plates from cars.
Normally these events may not initially seem related but as many service stations use a form of automatic number plate recognition or ANPR as it often referred to as, this means someone driving off without paying for the fuel will easily be tracked down.
However if the number plates used for the fuel theft has been stolen, then the first person to know about this crime is the person who owns the car with the stolen number plates and to make it worse this is normally when the police turn up the doorstep.
One way of making sure that this does not happen, is to go to event where the police fit anti theft screws to number plates, or to save time a travelling miles to the nearest event.

Offenders can remove unprotected number plates from a car then dodge refit the stolen plates onto another vehicle, they would then fill up with fuel, drive off with a full tank then remove the stolen plates leaving your number plate the only lead for the police to trace.
