Watch your license plate!


Posted: Mar 2, 2017

because a thief switched the plate of stolen vehicle with our license plate.  Police stopped us with guns drawn and we were handcuffed before it was all sorted out.  You can get anti-theft screws for your plate at an auto parts store or Amazon.

I looked online at those anti-theft screws as it sounded like a good idea after reading your post. It seems like, though, a thief familiar with those might keep the tool handy to just undo these screws... or am I missing something in the description maybe?

I agree with you that a thief might keep a set - Had a terrifying experience

of those special wrenches handy. This weekend I am planning to go a step further and add nuts with plastic inserts on the back of the plates, so that the screw will just spin if someone tries to turn it. There is a video on YouTube that explains how to do this. It is kind of a pain in the neck because I will have to take the inside cover off the back hatch to do it, but after the trauma we went through I think it is worth it.

Cain Says He Back On Message As #4 Steps Up To The PlateNov 07, 2011
If by "back on message" he means week 2 of last week's reruns, then I guess he is.  Looks like this woman was never reqiured to sign a gag order and held a news conference at the Friar's Club this afternoon. This is a breaking story that already has 1200 articles linked to the headline under Google News, so pick your preference in terms of whose report you would like to read.  Personally, think Politico should get the honors, since they broke the original exclu ...

to own guns. This kinda blows the argument that stricter gun control will curb murder and mayhem.  The younger one wasn't old enough to own or buy a gun. The older brother never applied.  He probably wouldn't have been able to lawfully own a gun anyway because of his previous charge in 2009. They didn't have assault weapons, either, so that blows another argument. Get mad all you gun control posters want, but facts are facts and it's something I've been trying ...

Woman Wears Colander For Driver's License PhotoNov 17, 2014
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman says she encountered only brief resistance when she recently had her driver's license photo taken while wearing a colander on her head as a religious statement. Asia Lemmon, whose legal name appears on her driver's license as Jessica Steinhauser, said the pasta strainer represents her beliefs in the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Flying Spaghetti Monster movement, also known as "Pastafarianism," started in 2005 as a pr ...

Pagan Priest Wins Right To Wear Goat Horns In License Photo,Dec 17, 2016
It doesn’t matter how many articles of clothing Phelan Moonsong puts on before walking out the door each day: If he’s not wearing his favorite pair of goat horns, the Pagan priest might as well be naked. Unless the 56-year-old Millinocket, Maine, man is sleeping or bathing, his beloved horns are rarely far from his scalp. It’s been that way since he first laid eyes on the horns at a Pagan men’s group gathering in 2009. A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to gr ...

This is only a little over 3 minues.  I really enjoyed it and wanted to share.  It's about the American Revolution narrated by David McCullough (writer of the John Adams movie with Paul Giamatti).  It starts off with something that Abigail Adams wrote, and talks about if we love our country, the freedoms we enjoy, the blessings of a society that welcomes free of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom to think for ourselves, then we should know how it came to be (who was res ...
