Hey Everybody!

I noticed that many of you black out your Licence plate numbers when posting pics. How come? Should I be doing the same?

 

I do it just because you don't know who is out there and what they have access to. Although anyone driving around you could get the plate number. For me I guess just better safe than sorry. Not to mention a lot of time we are talking about what he have in our trucks (possible things of value) etc.

 

i never worry about it... how many HUNDREDS of people see your rig driving around everyday? someone is more likely to run your plates or whatever locally than some random dude crawling YT 1/2 way across the country.

 

I agree 100% I would be way more worried about local's then people I see posting here all the time.

 

yea i never worry about it either...i dont think they can do anything but find out who owns the vehicle right???

 

I agree with Tofer and Oharleyman.

 

Takes too much time.. Inhabe insurance if some tard wants to steal my pos

 

Some folks do it to protect their anonymity. If you have a plate # here you can go to a kiosk in the mall and get a gov't. used vehicle history report which contains enough data to begin an ID theft or get a fraudulent bank loan.
Also with a plate # showing (particularly if the vehicle has trail/road damage showing) fraudulent ins. claims can be made against you [they probably would not stick but then you have the hassle of proving it is fraudulent].
Without the plate # it is almost impossible to achieve any of these nefarious outcomes.
If you plan for the worst case you don't have to worry about it.

 

Op sorry to call you out but mods I think thisbis in the wrong section.. I think general vehicle related would suit it better

 

You are right scoobie... thanks for the heads up I did'nt catch it... thread moved
