this might just be me but lately i’ve seen like 5 cars without their number plates on driving around

is this a tiktok (or more likely) a facebook trend?

Yeah I've definitely noticed it more over the past ~12 months than I think I did before that.

Sometimes no number plates, sometimes only one number plate instead of the normally-required two. IDGI.

After having my car stolen and learning about how these people operate,, they're all most likely stolen vehicles.

Even the ones where they've only removed one number plate?

Yes, especially the ones with one plate. That's how mine was, they took off the front plate, and left the rear one on. Now that I know, I'm always on the lookout on the other side of the road.

They will take a plate from a similar car to the stolen vehicle. They will then drive around, pretending to be you,

In some cases, they won’t even bother stealing a plate and they will just buy a “novelty” plate from an online retailer, driving around in a car they didn’t pay for and racking up tolls and fines under your name!
