Something along these lines has happened to me when I had my 86 TA in my driveway without plates, although it happened in a "nicer" way. I didn't receive a letter. Long story short, a cop that I knew was at my house for different reason and noticed my TA didnt have plates. I was working on it at that time. He told me to put a tarp over the car, or just the front end (since it was backed in my driveway) so someone can't complain about me not having a car without plates on my property...
Basically, some towns have ordinances to keep unregistered cars off property. It falls into the same category as, for instance, an ordinance in my town states that you have to have your grass trimmed below 12 inches or else the town will send in a private landscaper to cut it, then slap you up with a fine. Both ordinances is just merely to keep your property looking presentable and not looking like a junkyard.
The only way you can get away with having an non plated car on your property is if its for sale or garaged. Just put a tarp over it if you dont have plates.
