ABSTRACT:
A security frame assembly for vehicle license plates provides for the complete enclosure of the plate and any dated registration decals thereon in order to prevent or increase the difficulty of the theft thereof. The device comprises a peripheral frame with a tough transparent overlay, secured to the vehicle using standard threaded fasteners. The heads of the fasteners are concealed by caps which require the use of a special tool for their removal. The transparent overlay provides for the display of the complete plate, while also protecting the plate and registration sticker from easy theft. While a determined thief could take the plate and frame, the device would require additional time which would increase the risk of being apprehended for the thief and thus make the protected plate an unattractive risk. However, the device would permit the theft of the plate and frame without damage to the vehicle, thus saving the vehicle owner any potential repair costs. Advertising or other matter may be included on the periphery of the frame.
