I work in a garage and we had the police in the other day they said petrol thefts will be on the up because of the fuel prices, but he said the way they are doing it is robbing number plates of cars, vans and putting them on there cars so the innocent person who's plates got stolen only realise when the police come knocking for doing a drive off, you would have to have a good alibie.
Most garages including ours has ANPR.
