Car and Number Plates STOWLN

I've just read an article about a stolen car in New Zealand. What made this particular unlawful but rather commonplace event hit the news, I hear you wonder? (I realise that one cannot actually hear another person's wonderings, but you know what I'm getting at.) Well, the owner of the car had bought the number plate, 'STOWLN'. Hahahahaha...what an hilarious idea! Until it actually did get stolen....

Apparently, the New Zealander had been sitting around with his friends a few months ago thinking of great possible private number plates (at least the guy and his chums know how to amuse themselves on a perhaps otherwise dull afternoon) and someone came up with 'STOWLN'. When the young lad got his first car, a Subaru Impreza WRX, he decided to buy the number plate to get some laughs from his mates. Well, I'm sure they're laughing now!

I hope this unfortunate little incident doesn't put him off personalised number plates though. I'm sure he could find another great plate. Buying 'STOWLN' was just asking for it really!
