Car number plate

If someone was determined to find where you live I doubt they would think of checking out all the houses with the same number as two numbers on your car number plate. How would they even know which two numbers to pick out of the six digits? What if your house number had 3 digits?

I sometimes see cars that are from my neighbourhood when I am out and about, some have personalised number plates, some don't. Maybe they see me too. I don't think anything of it.

They are very common, as are 3,4 and 5 digit plates. I see loads around, multiple each day. 3x3 plates start at around £1k for less desirable combinations, so pretty cheap.

Bear in mind that if you change your car and want to keep the plate, you have to put it on retention, which costs money every time. I think it was about £80, but could be more now.

I think you're overthinking this. The chances of a number plate coincidentally having the two numbers of a house number in are quite high, considering each digit can only be one of ten digits.

I guess, but they're not that usual. I can count on the thumbs of one hand the amount I've seen in the last decade.

I would imagine that they'd also be expensive to buy at that age.

I’ve never liked the idea but couldn’t really say why. There’s a few round the local area that tea very recognisable and I started to see them around and although I don’t know any of the people, I realised I gradually started to know quite a bit about their business, seeing them parked up in various places. And yes, easy to then notice where they live when they’re parked up on their driveways. I thought then that that was off putting and why I wouldn’t want one. I wouldn’t have managed to memorise all of their numbers plates if they’d been regular ones.
Actually, a friend of mine has just got rid of their, very recognisable, plates for this reason.

It will be fine, mine has got my age when I was 23 some years ago, and two of the letters are adjacent to letters that appear in my cat's name.
So far neither of these coincidences have caused any problems.

If you park outside your house it will be obvious to anyone passing, but it's usually obvious anyway who's car belongs to which address. I suppose it's possible someone could steal keys from your car and know which house to get into if they saw it parked in town, it might be more memorable than a standard plate.

The usual downside is the number plate is easily identified if you are involved in something, like an accident where you don't stop, or don't pay for fuel. But I'm sure you wouldn't do anything like that!

Plenty of six digit number plates around, they just pre-date age related plates and are quite legal to put on a more modern vehicle.
Our family has had several of these but in our case they were still attached to the original (classic) vehicle they were originally allocated to. I do know that in at least one case, when the vehicle was sold ,the plate was transferred by the new owner to a modern car.

That said, I can see no reason to link a number plate to a house number, unlikely anyone would ever notice but as PP said, what happens if you move?

Well, I think the whole idea is bonkers, but I can’t think of a reason why that particular plate is more bonkers than any other.

What country are you in? Presumably not the UK having a six digit plate?

If you are parked outside your house people will probably notice, but what happens if you move?
