Polish Car Number Plates
Vehicle registration plates of Poland indicate the region of registration of the vehicle given the number plate. According to Polish law, the registration plate is tied to the vehicle, not the owner. There is no possibility for the owner to keep the licence number for use on a different car, even if it's a cherished registration. The licence plates are issued by the powiat (county) of the vehicle owner's registered address of residence, in the case of a natural person. If it is owned by a legal person, the place of registration is determined by his/her address.

Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers.

A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room.
