Why do we hide our tags?
 

Hey, after posting pics of my mom's car, I was wondering why de we hide our license plates when we host pics? I do it because everyone else does it, but never stoped to ask my self what the purpose behind it was...

can people find out important information from it?

It wouldn't be easy. But hiding them renders the question irrelevant

hmm, it's a little too late for me :lol

dude if i REALLY wanted to find out something about someone, I would. lol. license plates arent exactly the way to get into someones bank account and personal info.. I sure as hell hope not at least.

Its stupid to do it unless you actually own a valuable car.. i dunno why i do it.. just makes me feel safer i guess, haha. People with really valuable cars should do it though.. look what happened to dado.

the only pic i have really, is of my old plate

well alot of theives can sue ur plate to find out were you live, usually to steal your car and other house hold possesions. I read a story of some really smart thieves jacking some guys brand new 7 series, it still had th dealer plate on it when it was stolen.

Well do we have to hide it when we're on the road:D

I think it's pointless. heh
Only cops can look up plates anyway.

I don't. Omfgwtfbbq! Now you can come to my house and steal my leet E30. I'm sure everyone wants to feel 4 cylinder speed.

It's a bit far for you guys to come and flog my car. So I guess, I'm safe. Hamann318is, if you want to lose your car in NZ. I'll hide it out for you!

too late indeed :lol

if you piss someone off over the interweb, and if you live in a nearby city... if they saw your car and the plates matched up, they could always key it, shoot it, pee on it, ect...

exactly.
