The reason I started to think about this is because my van will be going to stay at panel beaters and painters soon so I was wondering should I take them off. I certainly don't want to remove them but as you say, losing the tags will significantly devalue the van. Even if its just to some opportunistic wanker that might spot them while its parked outside the workshop who knocks them off to keep as a souvenir. I loose.

Am I just too paranoid?
Has anyone heard of this kind of thing happening?

Cheers, Chris
