Sorry for the request...I know the info is out there somewhere, but I can't find it in any of my searches...

Can someone please let me know of any sites where I can look up a CH number plate?

Some @$% is parking in my spot and I want to address him by name when he returns...

http://e-autoindex.ch gives you all the kantons who will list online the owners....
it appears Zurich isn't listed so: www.stva.zh.ch/internet/ds/stva/de/dienstleistungen/schilder/schild_index.html

Thanks. Turns out he was from my landlord's office. Can't act too pissed-off unfortunately since I've got to stay on good terms with them...

why not,if your paying for the parking spot ?

Do you think they would say nothing,if you were parking in their spot, not likely.

If your not paying for the parking spot, then fair enough.

Try that around anywhere where I stay, even once the police were called, because some chap parked in someone elses place and would not move when requested to do so.

So,if he is parking in your place and your paying for it, then stand up for your rights and tell him to clear off.

So what are you a charity, for poor lost unwanted parkers.?
If your not paying parking,then disregard above.

Whoa, dude, easy there for a minute. I am paying for parking - how else do you ever get an assigned space in this country if you're not paying for it in one way or another?

I believe I said I couldn't be "too pissed-off" meaning I couldn't totally go off on the guy. I definitely made it clear that I was pissed and he got the message - and apologized (see other thread re Swiss apologies)! However, there's quite a range of anger to be expressed and you have to understand when it's best to be an a$$hole back to the guy and when it's best to be angry, but diplomatic.

ynot, I believe some anger management classes might do you some good...

Yea,did try,but the guy who was supposed to help,went and died on me, I guess he just realised theres no hope.

The next class I went to , the woman commited suicide, so it's really better I stay away from these classes, guess I'm just a date with death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Does anybody know the URL to access the database of swiss plates ?
I saw this website about 2 years ago and I was quiet amazed to see that it is freely accessible for anybody.
You just enter the plate and you get the name and the address of the owner. Really impressing and usefull either to chase pretty ladies or else...

Thanks

Not everyone is on it (you can ask to be removed from the list), but at least for AG, LU, SH, ZG, ZH this works:

Now I hope you won't be using this to stalk girls you see drive by in convertibles...

Of course the availability depends on the canton. A link overview can be found here. If the link is dead, search for "autonummer index" and the canton name.

Oh yeah and you are limited to 5 queries a day per IP, so choose your victims wisely

Shucks my plates are listed too, so I better watch out next time I flick someone off....

Great !
thanks a lot !
I'll have a look right now

You can opt out

You can't find me there

I haven't seen this on the forum (but was on holidays in May and haven't looked regularly - if a dupe then please remove):
Number plates – confidentiality and your personal details 12/06/2008. Since the 15th May 2008, Geneva’s ‘Service des automobiles et de la navigation’ has offered the possibility of finding out the name and address of owners of vehicles registered in the Canton of Geneva simply by sending a SMS of the car’s number plate to 939.
However, owners of number plates registered in Geneva can block the divulgence of their personal details by filling out the following form, available at: http://www.ge.ch/san/doc/sms-confidentialite.pdf

You can also find out owners for cars in Appenzell Innerhoden Appenzell Ausserhoden, Freiburg, Glarus, Graubunden, Solothurn and Thurgau by going here http://autoindex.mfk-so.ch/index.php
