Ah well, I thought we were free of the numbel plate 'debate' here in the UK, spoke too soon...

Must be quiet on the celebs needing motoring loopholes front. As we all know number plates have eradicated car theft entirely... oh, wait...

It's going to be a long afternoon reading about Bike Register and the fact that many frames have a number already... much like, I don't know, a VIN on a car. I guess all of the above is assuming the tweet is a serious suggestion and not just some early weekend trolling.

One alternative from the replies? "Or stop people who find loopholes to get criminals off due punishment. This might be more of a deterrent if criminals knew they wouldn't get away with it." And while I'm not sure there are too many loopholes regarding theft, certainly none that this lawyer deals with, still an amusing thought for this extremely serious discussion.
