Theft Proof Screws for Personalized Registration Plates

Does anyone know of any theft proof screws for personalized registiration (or license) plates? My new plates will be coming and I would hate to see them stolen, as they sometimes are. Any Ideas?

A simple solution would be to glue together the type of covers that can be found here with epoxy resin or something similar :-

McMaster-Carr offers lots of different types of tamper resistant screws, and sells in small amounts.

I know in the US that Advance Auto Parts carries them as I bought some there. My wife has a personalized license plate that was stolen at a Jimmy Buffett concert. The screws I used were like Torx but had a small piece of metal in the center so that only a special Torx driver with a hole in it could fit.

You might be able to find them at a local hardware store as any screw with machine threads will work IIRC. Probably best to take one with you into the store to double chack though.
