It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to willfully and maliciously remove, destroy, mutilate or alter the number on any bicycle frame licensed pursuant to this Chapter or possess such bicycle frame with knowledge that its number has been so removed, destroyed, mutilated or altered. It is also unlawful for any person to remove, destroy, mutilate or alter any license plate, seal or registration certificate during the time in which such license plate, seal or registration card is operative; provided, however, that nothing in this Chapter shall prohibit the police department from stamping numbers and symbols on the frames of bicycles on which no serial number can be found, or on which the number is illegible or insufficient for identification purposes.
