Some degenerate stole my license plate frame. Anyone have ideas for screws making the plate more secure?

 

Here is your solution right here:

EDIT: These Screws DO NOT FIT the standard stock license plate holder. Bummer since I ordered 2 sets. I will be checking around locally to find a license plate frame or something that they might fit into.

 

Thanks Yucca, just ordered some!

 

and if you show up at the Dragon this May and my US-129 license plate disappears, I'll be looking for you since you'll have the special tool!

 

You might want to look now. I just returned from Birmingham.

 

If you said you just returned from ATLANTA I would be concerned, but since my MINI is still being held at Global Imports, I'll sleep ok tonight.

I sure do miss my MINI!

 

Sneak the other halfs one out! You know ... milk and bread

 

Best I could do today was make the excuse that I had to drive it after waxing it to blow off the residual wax dust.

As much as I love that we now have 2 MINI's, I have quickly realized that I now have 2 MINI's to maintain and wash but still only one I can drive!

Truth though, I still love it. I think my wife's Cooper is the sharpest one I have ever seen.

 

At least she didnt say "Whats mine is mine and what's YOURS is MINE"

 

She loves her Cooper so much that I doubt she would even want to drive my MCS. And since she doesn't drive stick (yet), its a moot point!

 

Now the trick is ... to have her "like" the idea of washing her own car. Its kind of like doing the laundry .... for example, if your accidently shrink one her sweaters, she'll never let you near the laundry again... so ... just leave a little dirt and she'll want to wash it herself because you did such a lousy job! Maybe it will work

 

going back to the original post, i would be happy if the theif just took the
plate frame...

im not sure if you want to make it harder for him/her to take something
off the car as it will only upset them turning their screwdrivers into a
paint removing tool or their shoes into a dent inducing projectile...


park the car in a safe place... :impatient

 

I have stainless bicycle bottle holders bolts which require an allen tool on mine.

Excellent idea Moskito!

And I really like that plate. What was your address?
