Bonus points for correctly citing the movie quote.

The next-door neighbors spotted a couple of people milling around the back of the Highlander last night - they chased them off and then rang our bell, since they are Nice People and know it lives at our place. I had dumped my commedia bag in the back, so we figured they were trying to jimmy the door open to steal the bag.

Nope. They wanted the blank license plate frame.
So badly that they came back later, and unbolted the whole thing from the car.

I don't understand. While I am pleased that they (apparently) did no damage, I can't understand the appeal of a dealer-issued license plate frame and a piece of paper where the plate would be (if they had arrived yet).

Do they think that they can install this on their tricked-out Camry and pretend that it's a new car, thus avoiding registration fees? They didn't take the front one!

I just... don't get it.
Maybe I do need the I Aggro Drama T-shirt.

So saith the car dealer.
A body shop will occasionally steal the dealer frame and paper to put onto a "new" car rather than getting a new one from the dealer, which entails registering that the car was in an accident.

I can just get a new set today. Easy.
But I think the car is going in the garage until the plates arrive.

Well, if you're interested in baseball, anyway.

Who would be your worst World Series nightmare?
In other words, which two teams would cause you to suffer pain when determining who to cheer against?

Mine? Dodgers-Yankees. I'd have to root for their planes to run into each other on the runway.
