report number plate theft to police just in case it should turn up in the lens of a speed camera somewhere near you.

Can't help with replacement rubber bit though, sorry.

Hmmmm..... stealing the plate is one thing..... but knicking bumper strip is either mindless vandalisilm or stolen to fit another Tiv (I would like to think it aint the latter)

Not knowing what the bumber strip is off try one of the well known Tiv body repair shops they might know. They might not tell you the source but I'm sure that would willing supply part for you if they know.

Failing that the well known Tiv breakers, but everytime I've contacted them for small bits of trim they don't appear to keep these items.

REPORT the plate as mentioned previously

No worries reporting it, I am metropolitan police officer so well aware of need to.
I don't think they intentionally took the rubber, most likely came off with plate as was a tight squeeze to get the new style plates in, then they prob took it as to not leave anything behind.

Bloody annoying though,gonna have problems getting a new one.
