Number plates stolen - what should I do?

Two weeks ago the number plates were stolen from my car in a public car park. I have reported it to the police and have a crime number. I have also informed my insurance company and replaced the plates. Is there anything else I should do? Should I be aware of or do anything else?

Yes, you should change the registration of your car because any camera penalties these plates attract, whether for speeding, going through red lights or for parking, will come straight back to you.
