I think the STOMPer was too harsh to the owner/driver.
For what you know the owner/driver may be a victim of mischief or involved in a feud with someone.
He or she may not even know the licence plate had been tampered with.
Initially I thought the licence plate paint had simply faded off but from the other pictures it seemed it was being sprayed over.
So if you know the owner/driver of this Altis just let him or her know.

Licence plate numbers obscured with spray paint: Is this legal?
STOMPer Joe spotted a car which had half of its licence plate sprayed with paint. Is this legal, he asks.
Said Joe (Jul 14):
"Licence plate numbers that were sprayed with paint.
"Half the numbers were marred by the paint.
"Was the intention of the driver to escape traffic police?
"Is this even legal?"
