052887 - The Icon first thought this was a a zip code, but upon further study, we believe the owner of this plate was born on May 28, 2987. We welcome clarification from any Icon view with more information. We spotted this plate on a blue Honda CR-V in Ada. (The monthly renewal sticker confirmed our birthday theory.)
