That is a 50% increase on the year before.

Whoa.

Yeah.

And it approximates to about 75 number plates stolen every single day.

But this is the crazy thing.

So it was up 50% on the year before.

And then I was like, okay, what was the number the year before that?

Well, the year before that was up 47% on the year before that.

So talk about compounding.

Like seriously.

I was like, we should be investing in number plates.

I was like, why is this happening now?

And the biggest use cases, this is according to the overlord Google Gemini, is fuel theft.

So people are doing drive-offs.

They put the number plates on their car, fill up the car, then drive away, which is obviously so illegal.

But people are just like putting them on the car, go around the corner, fill up, then throw the number plates away.

And then there are other things like now the highway patrol and cop cars have those automated detection things where they can kind of determine from a distance if a car is stolen just by constantly video cameraing all the cars around them.

I don't know if you know that.

No.

Okay, so these cars, if you ever look at the cop cars, in particular the highway patrol, they have like all the lights on top, but they look like they've got all this other gear up there.
