High price of gas and your license plates

[bcp]

Doesn't a license plate check pull up the make/model of a vehicle? If the police run my license plate number from a picture of a 1981 Chevette, and it comes up as being registered to my 2006 Batmobile...wouldn't that clear me?

but if you were the one to steal the plates to use for ripping off gas, wouldnt you snatch them from the same type of car that you drive?
I would.

Don't go getting a big head but criminals are very, very stupid.

Why? You want to get rid of them and go back to your regular tags once you've got the gas.

No, because everyone knows Batmobiles can change into anything they want including a 1981 Chevette

I was surprised to see that they had gone down at Wawa on 235 this morning.

Yesterday evening the one on GMR was at $2.91 for 89 regular down from $2.93.

How come the WaWa Gas along 235 in Mechanicsville and Charlotte Hall are cheaper than the WaWa's in California, Great Mills and Lexington Park? There has been at least a $0.05 difference in pricing.

It just really seems strange that when the situation with the refineries happened earlier this year and there was talk of gas prices rising as high as $5 a gallon. And now that it hasn't happened (yet) something else has "come up" to make a scary boo-boo for we the people. It's like something is determined in some way or another that shyt MUST hit the fan with oil and gas prices.

I just want things to be all better again. (please hold me somebuddy.)

Worldwide, supply is tighter than its ever been. As a result, there isn't much room for error. In the past, an unexpected refinery shut or other circumstances wouldn't affect the market too much because there was plenty of excess capacity to fill to void, but for the foreseeable future, the markets will be hyper-sensitive to relatively small changes in the supply picture.

For months it was the other way around. Way cheaper in LP. Now I fill up in Charlotte Hall.

Yes, you'd think so, because you'd never be sure the gas station's security camera wasn't tuned into the DMV records somehow, and if the license plate and car model didn't match it'd get the police onto the scene.

You can't be serious. It's a local closed circuit systems that is capturing the theft not a state endorsed and operated system.

I'm thinkin that this COULD be the reason why my co-worker hasn't registered his motorcycle since 2005...thieves won't steal out of date plates? Dunno how he gets away with it, but he rides that bike on base everyday and the plates show a 6/05.

For different reasons, in PA, they cut the corner off the plate that has the registration sticker, and stick it to their plate. No kidding. This has been going one for MANY years.

True, at present. But the technology for a link-up is within the state of the art, and you never know how soon they might actually put it in action.

Don't hold your breath. How long does it take to gas and go? A matter of minutes, then swing around the block and pop off the bad tag (affixed with magnetic strips to just lay it over another tag or have it set up with a little bracket to hold it in place over a good tag) and then down the road you go. What sort of manpower will the police expend for these $50 to $70 crimes?

Not to mention the cost of networking the gas stations that choose to participate in an operation like this and staffing the police department’s Special Gas Theft team. I just don’t see it happening or being worth the expense. Only the truly dumb that leave the stolen tag on the vehicle would get caught and JPC doesn’t drive.
