My wife's license plates were stolen earlier this year. She didn't notice for weeks because the thieves swapped her plates with others. After she noticed we went to the state DOL to report it and get new ones. Cost us about $80 and the clerk told us the plates on her car were from a car that was reported stolen. Then she started getting auto-tolls from the old plates. Even though she got new plates through DOL, they don't talk to the DOT who does the tolling. She had to report to the state DOT separately from the DOL. And they wouldn't accept her report without a police report. So we had to call the police to come visit our house and take the report, then wait weeks for the police to publish the report, then resubmit everything to DOT and wait for the bureaucrats to process everything. Meanwhile, more toll charges are coming through and threatening fines because even in the same department, the left arm doesn't know what the right arm is doing.
Long story short, it all got resolved. But SHEESH what an extended pain in the @$$! I've love to tar & feather whoever did that to us and make it public to deter others.
