Another visit to the License Bureau

[vakkotaur]

Back in October I had some trouble with a license plate mix-up. I went to the license bureau then to see about straightening things out. The result of that was that I've now been driving on a single plate and a temporary paper placed in the rear window. Such a paper is valid for sixty days.

That was about sixty days ago. Last week I called the license bureau about things and was told that if my plates hadn't arrived by Tuesday to stop in and bring the paper to trade for a new one. The plates have yet to arrive and today's mail was already delivered, so off to the license bureau I went.

I did get a new piece of paper, good for another sixty days. I also got another expression of bewilderment that things had gotten this far along without full resolution. The clerk took down my phone numbers and said the matter will looked into. I expect I will get a call, but I don't expect it to be all that soon.

Somewhere, someone is driving on your other plate I'm afraid. Just hope they don't rob a bank and their car gets photographed in the process.

I do wonder what happened to that other plate. The W9SIO plate I had I turned in to the license bureau. And I was surprised to be asked by one person, "Do you want to keep it?" I had to explain it was not rightly mine.

A coworker suggested that I should have kept that plate, cut out the year sticker with a snips, epoxied that part to one of my old plates and just use it. If I still had that other plate, that would be getting quite tempting. On the other hand, if it takes another sixty days or so straightened things out, maybe the right plate can be installed in warmer weather.
