For the past several weeks, The Ada Icon has featured a vanity plate discovered on Ada's streets. These random, drive-by shootings (with our camera) are simply for fun, but we know there's always a story behind every license plate. The problem is that we don't know that story. We also don't know the license plate owner.

As we continue to post these random plates of the week, we welcome Icon viewers to log on to the comment section of the story.
