So what's the penalty for the thief when caught driving with stolen plates.

I had a tag stolen off my pickup at a motel in Reno. I was moving there, so I just called the issuing state to report it and then got Nevada tags. My first visit to a Pep Boys was for anti-theft license plate hardware, stainless steel screws with tamper-proof Allen heads. I can't remember if they came with nuts on the back or if I added those for good measure.
Maybe not as much with trailer tags, but I think stolen license plates often involve another crime. Fake tags on a getaway car, for example, or fake tags on a stolen car. I think a person should expect to get pulled over if their vehicle and plates don't match, especially with plate readers.
On a pickup truck with an actual bumper, I'm guessing their bolts are going all the way through with the nuts accessible on the backside of the bumper. On most cars with bumper covers, this likely isn't possible.I just looked up some of those. Do the nuts replace the typical plastic things the screws go into? I'm interesting in buying a set.
