Because they look ugly. (???)

I hear you, but what, really, would make them valuable to thieves ? I mean, they cost $8.00 for people who can use them, and they can't be stolen and sold to someone with a non EV. (Well, technically, someone really balzy could try to use them on a non plug-in Prius or something...) Not...

I know I'm looking far out, but since I keep my cars for ten years (done it twice so far, and I'm 40), I plan on having my LEAF for long after the HOV stickers expire (unless we are lucky enough that they extend them for several years). That said, they won't add any value to the car at that...
