...you bet your butt they would!!   Just like if you reverse into a snowbank
and loose your rear plate they make you replace it.

As a matter of interest, it is only the newer plates that have to be front and
rear.  If you have an older plate (green letters) you only need a rear plate.
If you registered in the last year or so and got the plates with the red
lettering, you have to have both front and rear.
