We’ve lived here 8 years and love our vanity plates. We couldn’t wait to get them when we moved up (from 25 mins south in MA.) They’re so fun and cheap- why not right?

A few years back I finally landed my dream plate. Couldn’t believe no one else had it already. Then Covid happened, self explanatory. The lease was up on my car in the middle of the chaos so we decided to turn it in/take it off the road since it was only driven like twice a month with remote work & school, quarantines, ect. We figured we’d wait a few months and see how things are going before we get a new car. No sense in buying another driveway decoration if we’re gonna be home for another year (spoiler alert: we were.)

But as soon as my beloved vanity plate was unregistered to my car, someone snatched it up immediately!!! Of course I checked a few times a month in hopes that I could keep it once I got another car. But sadly, no. It’s gone. Less than a month after my car came off the road. I still check the website occasionally- secretly hoping and praying that the person who snatched it up has a lapse in their registration like I did. If I ever saw that it was available again, I’d be running straight for town hall the same day.

^^^after re-reading my story before posting I’m like wow I guess this is a prime example of how looney NH folks truly are about their vanity plates. Emotional attachment to a license plate is pretty weird huh? I’ll never not be devastated until I get her back one day 😩🥹
