Missing Boat Trailer License Plate
Message:
The license plate from my boat trailer recently went missing. The plastic bracket that held it on the trailer broke off. I really don't know whether it was stolen or simply lost. So I went to the Connecticut DMV website to find out what I needed to do: [quote:c376f9462e][img:c376f9462e]http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8933/ctdmvmissinglicenseplat.jpg[/img:c376f9462e] Here's a link to the page on the CT DMV's website: http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a=810&q=245062 [/quote:c376f9462e] I reported the missing plate to my local police department, but told the officer that I wasn't sure whether it was stolen or simply lost. The officer wrote up the report as a lost plate. I waited a few days to get a written copy of the police report and brought it to the DMV office in New Britain to get an off-the-shelf replacement plate, today. After waiting [i:c376f9462e][b:c376f9462e]almost three hours[/b:c376f9462e][/i:c376f9462e] :roll: to talk with a clerk, I expected to pay only $5 with the police report in hand. However, I was told by the clerk that a replacement for a [i:c376f9462e][b:c376f9462e]stolen[/b:c376f9462e][/i:c376f9462e] plate is only $5 with a police report, but a replacement for a [i:c376f9462e][b:c376f9462e]lost[/b:c376f9462e][/i:c376f9462e] plate is $25 with or without a police report. :twisted: If your license plate goes missing, [i:c376f9462e][b:c376f9462e]report it as stolen, not lost[/b:c376f9462e][/i:c376f9462e]. :wink:

ummmm peco......did you not read the part in the "directions" about the "fees"? It clearly says "without a police report stating the plate was STOLEN it will cost you $25". LOL Ahh just a $20 lesson. Thanks for the tip and reminder because I forgot I noticed mine missing lastyear and never did anything about it. Will do now. STOLEN NOT LOST!!!!
