In maryland the tags had three letters and three numbers. The three letters on the tag for my moms car almost matched her initials. So I thought that the letters on everyone's tags were actually their initials and that they had just made a mistake and sent my mom the wrong tag. One day on the beltway I saw a tag with the *same number* and my *mother's correct initials*! I begged my mom to stop them so we could trade the tags back!!!
