Why remove your licence plate in pictures?
Ok, I do it too.. but why? What can someone do if they have your licence plate number? Its not like its your home address that someone is going to stalk you. It's not like you don't drive around the town covering your licence plate to others???
So why when we take pictures do we cross out our plates?

You can find someones address with the license plate numbers. Thieves can be browsing the forums, see a car they like in there area with rims and a bunch of accessories. They dont have to drive around looking for cars they can go straight to your place...

haha I asked the exact same question on a-tsx. Some dude, for gallery pics, actually did the "old-fachioned way" & covered his plates with wet paper towels 
I still don't get it. Someone said it right above
"People buy into all kinds of stereotypes and paranoia. "
It all started with just one person I guess.
