    These HK license plates are very common in and around Heidelberg. I suppose
    I am sensitively tuned into the differences between the cultures, that
    I didn't need to think who belonged to the HK license plates- I knew
    immediately and I could not point to the specific thing that clued
    me in. I agree, they are not exactly stealth, in fact the opposite.
