    I've heard of that, people trading in number plates for cash.. probably be better to go there in person though if you're having a hard time on the phone.. not sure if you can go to Vicroads with NSW plates to claim reward though since that's the RTA's thing (but they're all the same aren't they?)

    if the plates havent been cancelled then u should be able to get some money back, but in order to do so i think you need to hand in the plates from memory.

    vic roads hates it when you walk in with ten sets of plates needed to be handed in since they were not being used anymore.

    I walked into VicRoads recently with two milk crates full of number plates.

    They were plates seized from unregistered cars - yep we'd been busy.

    Good to see some of these cars being filtered off the roads

    Would the milk crates have been stolen property though ?
    If ignorance is bliss why aren't there more happy people around ?
