Sorry you said plates were removed but then you say that you checked the registration (how?) and then say for potential owner to DM you the plate number. Really confused, did they put plates back on the car?

Inspection sticker in window is what I assumed they meant.

Ah, that makes sense. That’s probably it!

Yep, this is what I meant. Apologies.

Im gonna assume they left the paperwork in the glovebox. My understanding is that thieves take the plates off and replace them with “clean” ones so the vehicle doesn’t get tagged by plate scanners as stolen.

They probably meant inspection sticker.

In New York, there's a sticker you put in your window similar to our inspection stickers that has registration info.

Wouldn’t the paperwork have the victims name & address? Wouldn’t calling the local police for the owner be easier than trying a post on a subreddit?
