Make sure you don't take it into the DOT office. I did this once to a plate I found. I wanted them to run the plate number to find out who's it was so I could get it back to them. They took the plate and tossed it into a box on the floor. I later found out they don't even try to return the plates.
I lost my license plate there,so I think it might be mine, I was there looking for it once but it was too much snow....please give me a call # 723-0250
Thank-you
