I had a car impounded several years ago because of vanity plates.
I traded in a car when I bought a new one and back then in GA you moved your vanity plates from one car to the other (now you move ALL plates, but at that time non-vanity plates stayed with the car).
The wholesaler the dealer sold the car to saw there were no plates on it and reported them as stolen.
And then my car got a nail in the tire while it was at the police impound lot. I was NOT a happy camper.
