....Not from my beloved Range Rover but from my 7'er 
A couple of days ago my rear number plate was stolen over night (sometime between 00.30 - 06.45) and the front was attempted but du to 15 years of rust the screws were impossible to remove.
Notified Surrey Police in the morning and they have indicated that thefts of number plates are on the rise in Surrey.
Just had a follow up call from Surrey Police saying last night they stopped a vehicle fitted with cloned plates and has been passed to Surrey CID for investigation - which is great news that the thieves have been caught.
So be mindful of your security arrangements and fit either anti-theft plates or fit anti-tamper screws....do whatever you can to secure your vehicle, theft of any type is not pleasant to have to deal with.
A few years ago my Classic was stolen and used to try and steal a trailer loaded with riding tackle from one of the riding schools up the road.....I was devastated.
Not trying to scare monger....just a caution.
