    Jbarnhart did not report him. He said that in his post. The CHP probably busted him while he was driving.

    I also have two sets... I applied for one set for Sparky, and then a week later he was sandwiched between two SUVs on the freeway and eventually totalled. The stickers showed up a month or two later... About 4 months after that I got Ruby, and applied for a set of stickers for her since the stickers are numbered, and the certificate has license plate and VIN info. I must have checked the stickers a dozen times to make sure I had the correct set before I put them on.

    Heh, heh. My 2004 HCH with the 5spd manual had NO hybrid markings on it at all! In fact, I argued with the dealer until he opened the hood and proved that it was a hybrid.

    There may be other 'stealth' HCHs out there, who knows? I only know that I had one with NO hybrid, or even Civic markings.

    Ya, the stickers are the wrong place. Otherwise, perfectly legit.

    for what it's worth, I saw a HH in Walnut, CA with a set of HOV stickers on them. It wasn't on the freeway, just on the streets. I thought originally that he also has a prius and simply applied for a replacement set for his HH. do not know for sure tho.

    WOW!
    HOLY COW!
    This is one of those situations where you can feel good, without doing anything! ;~)
    At least, you had the right idea!
    I like neighbors with your attitude.

    If you pull your stickers off, the sticky part remains and it is embossed with "Void" all over it. He removed the stickers but didn't get around to cleaning up the mess yet.
