There would be a lot of money to be made if someone has figured out a way to remove HOV stickers without damaging them. Having figured out the method, they would look for Prius since they are distinctive, a rich source of stickers.

However, I would have thought forging HOV stickers would be less risky and more profitable.

If you are in CA, you will need to file a police report before you can order replacement stickers. You will also need to remove any remaining stickers and send them in with your application.

That's what I would think as well. I suppose crooks aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

Easy. Just cut the bumper cover out around the sticker with a very sharp knife. Then take the sticker with the bumper cover attached. Trim the cover with a sharp pair of scissors til it's close to the decal.

These are thieves, folks. They don't particularly care what problems they stick _you_ with.
