Do you live in California and dont want any license plates on your car?
Heres how to do it if you have a ton of money and can get a new car every 6 months. Interesting loophole to say the least

Had you ever attempted to stalk now-deceased and former Apple CEO Steve Jobs as he was driving (likely to or from work), you might have noticed the lack of license plates. We now know why.
During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Walter Isaacson, the man who wrote Jobs’ autobiography, was asked why Jobs never had license plates, to which he shared a story about a discussion that he had with Jobs, which ultimately didn’t truly answer the question.
Isaacson asked Jobs, “Why don’t you have a license plate?” To which Jobs replied, “Well, I don’t want people following me.” After a bit of back and fourth, the conversation ultimately ended with an answer that really answered nothing, “Because I don’t have a license plate,” was Jobs’ final answer.
But rather than remain a mystery for all-time, Jon Callas, a former Apple executive, explained to David Heath of IT Wire that Jobs had signed a special leasing agreement which saw the replacement of his Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG every six months – which happened to be the maximum time someone can go without getting license plates in the state of California.
So in reality, Jobs just got a fresh lease every six months, effectively beating the system and his stalkers in one fell swoop.
