The wonderful world of fake license plates

There's limited information in this Facebook post from the Hopkinton, Mass., Police Department. But we want to know so much more about the scofflaw that thought he -- it's got to be a he -- could get away with a license plate made from a pizza box and a Sharpie marker.
