What is it that you think we can do with the plate #? You can't look up anyone's info. There's no "hack" into a database that will give your SIN and birthdate....what gives? 
There's an official "stolen vehicle" sticky thread on a Calgary Car forum, which has quite a success rate, and the first thing you're required to put out there is the license plate no. Along with photos and detailed description about the vehicle and where it was stolen from. As well as a contact phone #, so the owner can be notified immediately if the vehicle is spotted. Example
Doesn't do much good if someone comes back on the forum and says "Yes I saw your vehicle on xyz ave" and then 8 hours later the OP logs back in.
Is it the tinfoil hat theory that seems so prevalent here? |
You don't take your plates off when you go shopping? Man, talk about living on the edge!
