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?

    Apparently tabs are tags.

    Alberta got rid of them eight years ago or so, but before that they were extremely one-use items. Super-fragile with an incredibly strong glue. You could NOT have remove them with a razor blade and the precision of a master jeweller.

    Besides, annual registration is what - 80 bucks? Not worth it.

      See, that’s exactly where my confusion comes from too! The adhesive on those things are incredible. I’m afraid to fuck up when I put them on, because there’s no fixing it
