November 27, 2023 - Benicia Police Department officials report the following:

We know we are not superheroes, but just FYI this is NOT a way to get one over on us.

At about 1 a.m. on September 24, one of our officers was patrolling the area of 5000 block of East 2nd Street when he saw this beautifully handwritten license plate on a car.

A quick check of the vehicle showed that it was reported stolen out of Alameda.

The driver was soon detained, arrested and booked into Solano County jail without any incident.

(Pro tip: At least make the “registration” current)
