Yep. Plates = license plates; in BC you buy insurance and registration all at the same time from a crown corporation. You need to buy plates before you can drive a new car.

The new car was delivered to the police highway patrol lockup. The theives broke into the small chain link fenced parking lot (maybe space for 30-40 cars) where the new car was parked. They took the wheels off the car left with them. The cops eventually recoved the wheels with a bunch of other stolen property in Richmond (about 330km away). As you could imagine the fence was having a bit of trouble selling the wheels. I don't think there has ever been a hotter piece of stolen property in BC.

All of which shores up the idea that police pursuit specials sometimes have fancy wheels.
