Default To Show Or Not To Show Your License plates In Photos

I notice alot of ORG members cover their license plates when posting pics. Then there are alot of you that don't.

So who hides them and why? Is there a real danger in showing them?
Somebody working for the Gov. or Police and having the accsess to the data base can look at your personal info but, so what!

I would imagine that some that have hi-end sound systems or souped up engines and such probably do it so their vehicle can't be identified if seen in the street or some parking lot. You know, someone might be tempted to take your stuff(or car). Others probably just do it so no one can find out where they live. Those are the only reasons I can think of.

Hmmm I always show mine...well also because I'm PROUD and LOVE my personalized tag!!

And I think if you ever saw Evilina, I'm pretty sure you would know it's mine regardless of the license plate....

I personally don't care if my license plate shows. Hundreds of people see it everyday. I could see doing it though life Crazy Mofo said, if you have a expensive sound system or something else that your showing off. If your in a large enough city, somebody may just recognise the area in the photos and come rip you off.

I covered mine before for privacy of a sort, even though I did realize that I live in a fairly large city

Now that I have my personalized plates my car is deffinitely more noticeable than before, although there aren't too many cyber greens in the great condition mine is, plus my seat covers kind of give me away

Yikes! I don't think Evilina would be too happy with me if I changed her accent color from Porn Star Pink to Pork Star Pink!

Mine kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, but then again so does the whole car! But I don't care who sees it.

I kept the plate from Kraut it's now on Sunshine.
