"Manuel Diego Soza had no idea the trouble ahead when he threw out his old Texas license plate at an AutoZone earlier this year.
"Months after throwing away the old plate and putting his new CO plates on his silver Subaru Forester, police officers showed up to Soza’s Denver apartment and took him to jail on theft charges.
"But the thief had a neck tattoo; Soza does not. And the thief’s vehicle was a different model and color than Soza’s Subaru."

@MookyTroubadour oh, I'm very, personally aware how terrible they were back then. Seems like most of those guys & gals have moved out to policing the 'burbs now.
