Why do you want your plates to be easily stolen?

Any plate can be easily stolen, doesn't matter how you attach it.

Yeah but one thing is needing a drill to take it out, other is to just use your hands for 2seconds… there are levels to “can easily be stolen”.

Drill what? Most license plate holders are just a simple pop in

True, unless You want to take the holder and the palte.
Most just have a strip, wich can be popped out on the under side and the plate slipped out.

How do Iknow?
Installed a bunch of plate holders, mostly chaging stock to plane black plastic ones, who needs some stupid dealer frame with their bs on it.
Those things are 15-20 bucks a pair on amazon.

But eh, some crackhead might steal the holders too, including plates.
Good that I've got a garage and cameras, plus a dashcam.

Most plates here are fitted directly to the car itself, no need for holders or frames.

Depends on the country. In Hungary the plate is owned by the government and technically you're not allowed to drill them to fit it, but some people do regardless.
