My father in law Parked his car - a nondescript Punto 1100 in the high street in Warwick today. Came back 30 mins later to find a traffic warden standing by his car, who pointed out he had no number plates, but just a few screws on the ground where they had been...
So FIL phones the garage were he bought the car, and asks for some new plates to be delivered and fitted, then the police to state his plates have been stolen.
20 minutes later the police arrive, have a look round, check the other cars parked there, check the details, issue a crime number, offer victim support and explain he might get stopped for the next month or so.
Then the garage arrives with new plates, fit them and everybody goes home.
The traffic warden, police and garage were very helpful (the garage charged £7.50 to make, deliver and fit the plates - a brilliant bit of marketing).
Why his plates, in a busy main road? Seems a little more than random.
