According to the Maricopa County Attorneys Office, more than 48,000 vehicles were reported stolen in 2008 alone. Unfortunately, the police cannot be everywhere at once, so citizens must be vigilant in watching for suspicious activity. If you are concerned that someone in your neighborhood is using a stolen vehicle or if someone is trying to sell you a vehicle that you believe is stolen, check the status of the plate before taking any action.
