Today at approximately 15:30 my Ontario license plate was stolen off of my bike. It was taken from the downtown Toronto area. The plate number is SMTTY and it has been reported as stolen. If you see it please report it. Thanks!
 
I did report it to police and 407. What sucks is that I technically can't ride home now. The cop that did the report says I *should* be OK but it's really at the discretion of the officer if I get stopped. What really sucks is that when I get it replaced I don't get it replaced with a personalised plate unless I pay another $300.

You have the police report with you?

Ride it home, but dont continue riding it until you get a new plate.

Really? That suxks. I have a custom plate on a car.. I use security bolts to secure them. Check Canadian tire
 
I rode home yesterday without the plate. Took the 401 and 427 and didn't see any police, didn't get pulled over. I guess I was lucky in that respect. I'll be getting a new, non-custom plate sometime today. Hopefully whoever has it gets caught with it during the commission of a crime. The officer I spoke to yesterday says that if they do manage to find it, it will be returned to me . Whether or not I would be able to use it is a different story.
 
Where abouts downtown did it happen? Strange for a custom plate to get stolen.

Not that strange. Back in the day, a buddy had a plate on his van that said "NO GST". I was surprised how long it lasted before it got stolen.
 
I rather this than see another "stolen bike" thread. Count your blessings OP.
 
Where it happened I'm not 100%. I was downtown on university for about 45 minutes. I rode to Broadview/Danforth then parked, rode again same area. When I got off the 2nd time I noticed it.
I'm glad the bike wasn't taken but still inconvenienced of course. I have replaced the plate now, not personalised, sadly. I didn't want to spend the money again, and end up being a victim again. Sucks but what can I do?

Sorry to hear - nice bike. Had the same one myself before and miss it every day. White/Blue was the best color combo on these by far.
