I'm wondering if this may solve the "mystery" of a fellow who moved in across 
the street about a year ago and very soon got a new BMW, which to this day 
has cardboard dealer slugs instead of plates.  I thought perhaps he works for 
the dealer or distrib.  I haven't asked because with a car like that there 
may be a less wholesome reason he has no plates, and you know what Robert 
Frost said*.
