Dumb question about license plates...
Why does everyone cover the numbers on their license plates in pictures? Not just this sight, but the news, T.V., advertisments etc. Seems weird considering I can look out my window and see millions of them in plain sight.
I know this is a stupid question, I just can't see the harm! School me!!!

Yeah, I never understood that either. I guess if someone sees my plate and tracks me down with cruel intentions they will have an AR-15 pointed at them, so its all good.

I guess it has to do with finding the location of a vehicle. Possible, that it might have to do with theft etc.. However I have seen a montage of various Harley vanity plates. I have one of my old plates hanging in a bar in Bangkok.

That's a good question. Is there a reason for me to go back and cover up the license plate on my posted pictures? Can't figure out why?
If someone wanted to steal a bike, much easier to take one from the street than go through my garage, my alarm, the bikes security, me (6'2" 245) and my Glock 9.

yeah, it's not like you can't take down the plate number of one of the THOUSANDS of vehicles you see on the street everyday!!
or follow them home for that matter.
i can see on a "for sale" type site where you also give out the VIN number but even still, on here, you don't have that much info.
