The reason is simple. Last year, New York State required auto mechanics who issue the stickers to comply with new, computerized standards… Damn scumbags. ---

^ Well, the one car had it’s windshield smashed. I imagine if you smash the window and take the part with the sticker home it probably isn’t too hard to remove the cubed glass. ---

Removing a sticker without damage is easy. I removed my old inspection and registration stickers with just a razor and Goo Be Gone and they were still in good enough condition to be re-used. ---

It would be nice if wkbw actually checked their facts. On the report it said you could get a replacement from deputy county clerk for $2.00. I almost fell over laughing. Oh yeah its the media’s job to sell advertising not tell the news, i almost forgot. Replacement can only come from albany with a moutain of paper work and about 3 weeks of time. Its ususally easier to just get the car re-inspected ---

Torch?! :lolham: Why not build a fire pit on your windshield and then wait for the glass to melt off of the sitcker. That way the sticker will be intact… A $9.99 heat gun from Harbor will do the job (Works on badges, bumper stickers, registrations, tint, 3M dbl sided tape, etc… but don’t use it for a long time). ---

If I’m stealing the sticker I think the torch is a great idea. 1. Silent. 2. Portable, no electricy required. 3. Fast. Who cares if I screw up the window… IT’S NOT MY CAR. Hell, if the car catches on fire they probably won’t even report the sticker stolen. 🙂 ---
