"I looked at the number plates and realised there [was] something strange here. That's when I realised I'd had my plates stolen.

You can't drive your car without number plates so you've lost use of your car for at least a week."Mr Borlace said one ambitious solution was retiring number plates altogether and replacing them with digital devices.
"There have been some studies done of having electronic recognition of the vehicle, so similar technology that's used to collect tolls.
