I took Terese's car in for the free installation this morning. When I got there a queue was already lining up. Who doesn't want free screws right? Don't want to miss out on the free tax dollar funded screws!
While the police was directing the traffic, State Emergency Services (SES) volunteers were changing the screws off everyone's number plates. Once you've installed these unremovable screws you can only have them removed by the police for a legitimate reason.
I just had to get out of the car to see them doing it. One volunteer unscrewed the old screws and another screwed in the new screws. I'm doing my bit to fight crime, let's see how they're going to steal my number plate now. They're screwed!
Here's a close-up look at the screw, its very simple but effective. The head is shaped in such a way that it can only go one way and thats to screw in but not out. Thieves would just have to rip the whole thing out!

Aiyo, thieves there steal number plates? Thieves in Malaysia break into bank's vault ler... (Latest one happened in a Public bank in Seri Kembangan)
5xmom: so they can use it for their getaway car when they go rob the banks! hehehe
lil' joy: its brilliant!
cynthia: hahahahaha..u think crooked liao!
neo: yes, but first they need a getaway car right?
Yalah! Want to screw, also must find the best way!! Otherwise, fall off very easily!!
hah! give them a day and they will come up with something to unscrew the screw!
6 months down the line, some smart*ss would have created a tool that could unscrew the screws.
Perhaps :)
I wonder if thieves in M'sia steal number plates or not? If they do, then let's import those screws from you and we sell it in M'sia!
STP: what falls off? ur dick? hahaha
ah pek & C4STP: the police oredi has a special tool for getting them off so if the crooks can get one also...
neo: cheaper to get it from china!
i don geddit. can't the crooks make false plates? budden i guess why waste money when you can just steal some for free. hey, looks like i just missed another series of star wars toys fever. *phew*
clever. very vlever.
but knowing thieves, where there's a will, there's a way...
btw, i just noticed this - why is it that most Asian chicks drive the Echo? My cousins drive them, my ex is driving one, and so happens your wifey is too...
what happened to good ol fashioned Holdens V6, eh?
Weh like that hah better steal car lah. Easy and $$.
So if you want to remove the plate, you must go to SES right? Then how the hell are they gonna unscrew it? Hmmm hmmm hmmmmmmmm if they got some special equipment to unscrew it then what makes them think the thief won't hv it.
me: you've just answered your own question! very good..you get an A+!
laksa: Holden V6? cannot tahan the petrol price now!
che-cheh: no, u go to the police to get it removed so if the crooks got that special tools then its from the police!
