These thefts are not taking place when people are in the vehicle.
As for the licence plate , they probably steal them as well.
The solution is to get rid of the placards and replace therm with a sticker glued to the windshield.

Bob.

What you are proposing is a duplication of handicapped license plates with a sticker. Pointless and unnecessary. There is no problem with people stealing license plates. The police can spot stolen license plates easy. You are offering a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Just get yourself handicapped license plates.

I am not advocating doing away with the licence plates, just the plastic placard .
The placards are stolen on a daily basis, and the state legislature working with the dmv could put a stop to it by issuing no more placards, but instead a sticker that would be glued to the inside of the windshield.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to solve this placard theft problem.

The solution is already there. Just get a handicapped license plate.

Those are issued only to those who have a permanent disability that is certified by a medical professional, with the car registered in his or her name.

Same is true for the placard.
When you are approved , you have a choice, the plate or the placard.

After my mom fell and broke her pelvis, she had a handicapped placard....it was a temporary, not permanent placard (there are two types). She did not have the option of a handicapped license plate.

You are not eligible for a plate if you have a temporary (red) placard.
If you have the blue placard, you could get a plate instead.

You have negated your above post, then (#25). Right?

DMV investigators said they have checked 5,422 disabled person parking placards since July (2018). Of those, 640 were used improperly.

DMV fines almost 500 drivers caught misusing disabled parking placards: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...011-story.html

$300 sounds like a deal to me if anyone's selling?
