Heh heh heh!
They probably don't have insurance or something, but that was pretty stupid.
It's funny that we all have stupid people with license plates stories.
Mine took place when I used to work for a newspaper. A couple got stopped by a cop in our parking lot because their car only had one license plate (in VA you need 2). And, well, you know how nosy newspaper people can be. For two hours we watched these people argue with the cop about their car and their baby (who had no car seat and definitely needed one). In the end, the policemen had to call for backup, and they removed the lone license plate from the car and ticketed the couple, after a lot of angry shouting and an almost arrest. Then the police left and the couple with their baby went to a diner next door. Not ten minutes later, the couple was back. They opened their trunk, pulled out another license plate, attached it to their car in full view of us, and drove off. Needless to say, they didn't get too far.
