I don't expect he still has it. 
On more than one occasion, as I've left games, I've witnessed people, not security, taking pictures of my car in the parking lot.
A few years ago, I was headed to a Bowie BaySox game and stopped at a traffic light near the stadium. In my rear view mirror, I noticed a lady on her phone wildly pointing as she talked. I can't be 100% sure, but it looked like she was saying, "I'm right behind Cal Ripken". Sorry to disappoint her, but I don't think Cal drives a Subaru with Maine plates.
