Besides the obvious dodgy paint job over the existing number plates, the words "Not stolen ok" were written as the tag line…A 26-year-old disqualified driver will face court after Police found him with altered number plates in Adelaide early on Wednesday morning.
A South Australian Police patrol spotted a Mitsubishi sedan along John Rice Avenue in Adelaide’s north around 2am driving without its headlights on and with an altered number plates.
