Automobile identity theft – watch our, your could be next

After receiving several reports, I thought I would pass this along to you. There is a gas theft scam going on around the country that police agencies are warning about. Being forewarned is being forearmed.

This from the WJON Local News - Saint Cloud, MN. ST. CLOUD -- The St. Cloud police chief is warning you to check your license plates.

Dennis Ballantine says they've seen an increase in cases of people stealing license plates, and then using them to drive-off and not pay for their gas.

Ballantine says they've had six of these cases reported since April 15th.

He says you should check your plates every day, and if you notice that they are missing, contact the police department right away.

Madison Wisconsin has a similar warning on their NBC news station.

If you notice that you license plate is missing, report it to the Sheriffs office right away. If a gas station owner reports a gas theft with a license number, you will avoid a lot of innocent explaining.
