My entire adult life, I’ve heard various people tell me that I need to score my tabs after putting them on “so no one can steal them”. I’ve known many people like myself that find this idea absurd, and don’t bother with scoring. How did this idea become mainstream advice?

    I guess it would be theoretically possible with a razor blade or something. I remember the ones here in Norway being a PITA to take off, so it was usually easiest to place the new one over the old one.

      Same in the US. My stack is nearly a mm thick. I imagin someone could steal them… but it would be faster to unscrew the whole plate and take it home to work on it
