One cloner car

Both number plates have been stolen from my car. I have reported the crime to the police. I am concerned that these plates may be attached to another car that is involved in a crime, incurs parking charges, speeding tickets, etc. It is easy to see that there may be a large amount of trouble/inconvenience ahead for me. Can you give me any advice regarding what action I should take?

Get yourself a cheap 'personal' registration and transfer your car to
that. It's the only known defence against an awful lot of hassle in a system that relies solely on registration plates to effect punishments.
