A: You can pursue a civil case or claim for the damages that you suffered as a result of your license plate being stolen; however, you may struggle to get the Defendant to pay off on the judgment or damages. The pursuit of a civil case is much different than the collection of damages on a Judgment. You can hire an attorney who handles civil matters to pursue this case. I am not sure you will be able to find an attorney to handle the case or potential case on a contingency basis. In other words, an attorney contacted to handle the case may want to charge you by the hour or by a fixed rate than than base his or her fee on the successful collection of monies from the Defendant. Good luck.
