    I'm assuming you've already informed the DMV about this? That sucks to see though.

    Use carriage bolts to secure your plates

    Torx security screws help (Lowes sells them)

    it slows the thief down to a crawl in hopes they will go after someone else that didnt bother to do this.

    The last hospital I worked at (inner city) people would get their plates stolen all the time (for the tags).
    Sometimes the nurses didnt know until the local PD stopped them....

    odd?

    perhaps local thieves have their eye on getting a local red taco... or the plates are sent out of state for the same purpose.

    Too weird, but glad you reported it immediately. Thoughts of John Dillinger cross my mind, but it's probably just a prank. Serious though nonetheless.
