Personal security maybe. Think about it if a thief sees a picture of a bike he likes theres the state license license plate USA123 look up the registration you come home NO BIKE or even worse. It's the internet.

Why do all the reality programs on TV have blanked out license plates. On American Chopper they have their personal vehicle plates blanked out. The answer, privacy. Burglars would love to have someones address this time of year.

I can buy software for $20 that will not only give me your home address with very little information but also tell me your gross yearly income and more!

It's just a matter of not tempting fate, or the ill will of any worthless bag of &*%$ that might use the information for ill-gotten gains.
Yes, anyone can do almost anything with the right amount of money and a computer...me, I'm not going to make it easier for them.

Part of what I do for a living is financial investigations and subscribe to a variety of research services. If there is a $20 program that will get you someone's income let me know.
