license plates stolen

i’m so pissed. my husband made a report to the police that our van’s license plates were stolen in the parking lot of a holiday inn hotel, it sucks that this happened in another state WHILE he is working, and now we have to wait for Monday to come to get the report and updates on the “case”. can’t call DMV because it’s the weekend and it’s closed. like who the hell STEALS license plates???? smh a CRIMINAL, A BUM! i hate that whatever this person does it goes on my name, i’m currently pregnant and this legit ruined my weekend bc im so stressed 🤦🏽‍♀️ has anyone gone through this??? do you guys think my stolen license plates will get recovered even if they were stolen in another state from where i live??? and what can i do to “secure” my license plates on a car or van?? any advice or answers would be appreciated. LOL this may seem silly but anyone would be angry if this happened.
