What do I do with my old license plate?

I received a new one in the mail and now do not know what I should do with my old one. I don't want to throw it out because then someone can take it and use it (in not so honorable ways). Are their certain procedures I should take? They are Florida license plates. I checked the Florida dmv and could not seem to find useful information.
Additional Details
The plate is from 03
It has been sitting around my house for some time.

Some states require you to turn in your old plates. Florida is not one of those states. Nail it to your garage wall.

Or, do this: http://www.runnerduck.com/lpbirdhouse.htm

whatever you do with them, make sure no one else gets ahold of them. I had a friend in the same thing, though not in FL. He left his plates by his garage and forgot about them until he got a notice from the city saying he had something like 25 parking tickets and 25 failure to renew, even though the plates were not on the car it was registered to. It cost him $500 for a lawyer to straighten it out.

You can turn it into them and they can dispose of it or just hang onto it. I just throw mine away and have never had any issues. Once the licesnse plate and number are expierd they cannot do anything with the plate.

turn them in immediately to the nearest tag office or your license will be suspended

Take it to the dmv. I don't know about Florida laws but here in NJ you get a surcharge after 30 days of not turning it in.

Throw it in the ocean. Give some treasure hunter the satisfaction of finding something later on down the road.
