A license plate is not a VIN number and comes off a car in under a minute. If I steal your corvette, the plate is the first thing that is coming off, never to be seen again. The best way to identify your vehicle (aside from a VIN) is to do non-stock modifications on it.

Plates only matter if you get pulled over and an officer runs your ID next to the plate. Until then, you can have a fake or stolen plate without issue. (stolen plates might be noticed, if recently added to the list or an officer is bored or plate-scanning) You can drive across the country with different plates on the corvette with a low risk of trouble if you drive safely. So clearly they're not a reasonable deterrent against car theft. Chop shops are a thing, as well.

Public roads can be funded with a tax, and don't need to be paired with a plate.
