	The licence plate on our car begins with 3 letters ...................... GSX We've had that plate since 1998 when we bought the Hyundai wagon I asked to keep it when we bought and were insuring the Subaru in 2006 ............. ............. the insurance agent said not many people wanted to keep and transfer their licence plates from one car to the next, although it was allowable. my reasoning was that it had taken me 8 years to learn it, and I didn't want to have to begin all over again :-D :-D

	Everything went well, My doctor is really pleased with my progress. However, he will no longer be my doctor and he introduced me to my new one. He was really easy to talk to, so I'm going to miss him. Next appointment is three months, not looking forward to it because even though I'm well they are going to do more tests. :-( I'm an anomaly, I don't fit the profile for the condition I have.

	We had a similar incident Jonesey. One evening sitting at home after a glass of wine we had a knock at the door from a policeman who asked the whereabouts of our car and could we account for our movements because it was involved in a hit and run. We have been in all evening officer enjoying our wine and our car is right there. He was a bit confused by this and radioed through to check the reg/make etc. Fortunately they had the vehicle in the pound as they had caught him. They needed to check all the chassis numbers and confirmed we had the original The thing that was unusual was that the guy with the cloned car lived within 1/2 a mile from us, We had bought our car out of area. Would have been interesting if we had both met in an accident.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	LK was the cloned car the same make and model as yours? If so, wonder if the chap had seen that you had the same car so got the number plates made? We've just had lashing rain then hailstones - the ground was all white - don't want to see that towards the end of May! I'm finally getting round to having my winter wheels and tyres taken off tomorrow, wonder if I should have waited?

	Sylvia, The sequel was that shortly after that incident my business partner was stationary at a road junction when he thought he saw me approaching in my vehicle. As the vehicle got closer he could see that it was not me driving it but the vehicle had my number on it. The vehicle crossed his path and as soon as he could my business partner set off after it. Unfortunately he was held up down the road by traffic lights on red and lost sight of it. That incident was reported to the police but they never came back to us to say whether or not they ever found who had cloned it. LK, As he lived near to you the guy who cloned your car had obviously seen your vehicle about locally and having a similar vehicle to yours available decided to have number plates made up with your vehicles number and fitted them. He must have been caught out fairly quickly otherwise you would have been in danger of receiving speeding tickets, parking fines. congestion charge fines ect for things that he, not you, had done.

	Actually acording to the police he had bought in Peckham so he did not do it. They said usually when cloning happens they make sure the is distance between the two We bought ours in Maidstone. I do not think he had long as you say MC.

	Gin, If you don't know a man who knows a man you just order them from one of the many sellers on Ebay. No questions asked and no paperwork required.

	We had a car nicked once... police notified us where it was ..not that far from our place ... we went and got it and OH asked the woman at the house where it was left, if she had seen the ashtray (it had a woodie dashboard and himself wanted to have the ash tray in tact) and a pair of sunnies were missing. OH got a torrent of abuse because he had not left enough petrol in the car for it to have been taken further and the thieves had left our car and taken hers... it was all OH's fault. Another time we found our van unlocked but nothing was missing .... well not until we were out and about and I went to the glove box for an Oddfellow Peppermint ... the bag of them had gone.. must've been kids that broke into the vehicle.
