    The worst thing? Given that he committed criminal offenses, he could go to jail. Without knowing the facts it's difficult to guess at an outcome; if he has a clean record and is convicted of something after a plea bargain, I would expect probation.

    The worst thing? FELONY GTA - Grand Theft, Auto
    If the uncle switched the plates to keep the vehicle from being reposessed and the kid knew nothing about it, the uncle could be charged with switching the plates. GTA likely would not come into it.
    The child would likely be charged with driving without a license, driving an improperly licensed/plated vehicle.
    A good attorney can likely negotiate this down to a few misdemeanors and some pulbic service as well as a few hundred bucks in fines.
    Expect $2500-$5000 for an attorney to handle this plea if you live in a large city.
