Do you know your license plate number?

[Karen]

I would notice in a flash. I have always known my license plate number!

[Asiel]

Good question. And one that will make me go check out my plate number - I've never paid attention to it but this makes me realize everyone should know it.

[Alysser]

I know the letters at the end, I think, but I definitely don't know the whole thing. I laughed a bit at this story, that's funny! However, I'm glad your brother was proven innocent. What a bad situation for him!

[Roxyluvsme13]

How terrible! I'm glad the issue got resolved!

I know mine since I kept having to write them down for everything.

Wow...that is unbelievable.

I have the Wild Resource Conservation Plate on my vehicle so I would notice if it was replaced with a regular license plate for Pennsylvania. I know the beginning letters and numbers but can't recall at the moment the entire thing. I have way too many numbers in my head as it is.

I don't really inspect my car and license plate every time I go somewhere. Maybe I should?

That is scary and a bit funny. Glad everything worked out okay for your brother.

I have personalized plates so of course I know mine and would definitely notice if they were switched. Bruce also has personalized plates.

You should make it a habit to walk around your car once before you drive anywhere - check your tires, and your plates, and make sure everything else looks fine. It's just a good habit to get into, wherever you live!

We had a plate switched on us once. We are not sure when it happened, exactly, but as soon as we noticed we called the police to report it.

We have been checking the plates on the cars daily, ever since then.

I actually do this every morning. And usually I try to park somewhere that I will walk up to my car on the passenger side so then I check both sides all the time. It's a very good habit to get into. I almost drove over an hour with a very low tire. Well, I wouldn't have gotten very far before it went flat. But because I had parked where I came out to the passenger side, I saw the tire and was able to get it fixed before the long drive.

Wow.. I'd never even thought of looking out for this.

I still remember my Mass. license number (557-SRF [I think]) and my Rhode Island license number (OK-502!), but I still don't know my Michigan number, which I've had for more than a year now! It is one of the pretty plates with the silhouettes of the peninsulas and the Detroit skyline and the Mackinac Bridge.

I will make it a point now to memorize that one or at least write it down somewhere handy in case anything like this should happen.
