I would probably just spend the $30, and be happy the car wasn't stolen or damaged

Wow, thats some cool spelling there POELWYK.
Unfortunately you have no option but to pay for them because some lowlife ripped off yours. Were they personalised or just standard?, thinking if personalised someones got them hanging in the shed now.

It's the same as having to pay to replace faded and unreadable number plates.Technically you don't own them , but it's still your responsibility to pay them for new ones.

$30 is nothing as it could be a lot worse.

I'm a hater of pointless fees too. I'd wait till she's handed them over then just flex outta there. Government can go without the 30$.

You can get one way screws from Bunnings, hardware stores etc. Only problem is, once installed the plates cann't come off, the screw heads have to be ground off, to remove plates.

Best thing you done was to go down the cop shop and report them as stolen as it will get you out of the poo if the theif uses them for a crime. Looks like you don't have a choice but to pay the $30 as if you leave it go you will just be hit with a bigger fine for not having them on
If you were a real nasty type you would go to a servo and rip $30 from the bowser then drive off with no plates. I don't condone this sort of behaviour even though the fuel company's seem to rip off the motoring public. And given your luck you would get sprung for doing so anyway. Best thing would be to just cough up and cop it on the chin. |

Pay your $30 and pop rivet the new plates on.
Pop rivets are alloy and easily drilled out if you need to remove the plates, but why would you? |

It sucks, but I'd rather pay your $30 than have to live with the big dent that some retard left in the left rear quarter of our car when they clearly could not reverse or enter a car park properly.

I doubt Vicroads will waive it. I never received my rego sticker in the mail for my new car, so waited till the day before the deadline, visited the RTA and, IIRC, they wanted $15 for a new one.
I never received the original yet I have to shell out $15!? It's not like I was making a scrap book of rego stickers. Couldn't get it unless I paid the $15. They wouldn't budge. If you re-register and not receive one in the mail, they'll print you one up for free (well, when you pay the $350+) |

I had the same thing happen a few years ago.
Had to get new plates cause the old ones had to be reported stolen and would end up getting pulled over if I didn't. That caused a domino effect where I had to notify the insurance company, lease company, fuel card company and CTP. Ended up being a whole heap of paperwork. Somehow it would have been less work if they took the whole car. |

they steal plates to put on their cars when they steal fuel. a guy in a servo recently told me he rang the cops for a fuel drive off, when he gave the cop the number the cop asked him to repeat the number. turns out the plates were stolen of the cops ( private) car while he was in the station

Police park their private cars on the street or the local car parks when they are at work, no secure parking unless you are the commissioner or close to him.
Re paying the $30....who do you think should pay for it??? Its your car, you lost them so you need to pay for new ones, quite simple really, if they had stolen your hubcaps, wiper arms and towbar do you think you could have gone to Ford and said they got stolen and gotten them replaced free of charge????? |
