When I worked at Jonathon's Coins, in Inglewood, Calif. back in 1971, his green station wagon, which he used to pickup and deliver silver bags, large collections, etc., had the Calif. Plate:
09-S VDB
I tried to never use that station wagon for any pick ups or deliveries when I worked there; even then, at 21 yrs old, I thought that was simply an engraved invitation to be robbed.

There was a well known and prominent coin dealer here in Maine who had a beautiful bright red Porsche 911 with the license plate "MS-70". While some of these are amusing, I must agree with TomB, however. Why not just cut to the chase and put "ROB ME" on your plate. It is analogous to wearing your dealer badge out on the street when you leave a coin show.

This one is great. Works on so many levels.
My first thought upon seeing the question was "Rob Me", but I see that TomB already nailed it.
However I do like the idea of certain coins that I possess currently.
