It was validated last July, but it's a good idea to keep an eye on your plates anyway. Here in Philly the biggest thing they were doing was to cut off the registration tag off the plate. It happened to my brother-in-law and to a lot of other people so always keep any eye on your plate!

This was sent to me. Thought I'd share. Some people are evidently going
to the extreme.
A woman said her son found his license plate missing so he called the
police to file a report. They told him people were stealing the plates
to get free gas. Given the rise in gas prices, people have taken to
stealing license plates, putting them on their car, then getting gas and
running The gas station will have "your" license plate # and you could
be in trouble for "pump and run." Check your car periodically to be sure
you still have a plate. If you should find it missing, file a report
immediately!!! Keep an eye on your license plate! Make sure you always
know it's there! When the license plate is reported as the "drive off
vehicle", it's YOU they contact!
Be aware!!!! Be aware of your license plates, most of us never look to
see if the plates are there or not.
Watch your license plates!
