  1. If the plates are stolen, should I blur those?

    You could just blur it out BEFORE you take the picture...

    There have probably been a dozen Mustangs I know of that were stolen with information gathered from pictures / license plates posted on the internet.

    Think about it.

    They see your car, like the parts, get your address from a DMV search, figure out a way to steal it. It doesn't take long.

    So maybe only one in ten cars is accessible at the time they are prepared to do the theft. But 10% is a pretty good take when a car can part out for $10-15-20 thousand dollars or maybe even more.

    Lock your stuff up. And blur your plates so some asshole in Wyoming doesn't know who you are.
     
  7. besides plates,I've seen logos on t-shirts "fuzzed" too. It has a lot more to do with copyrights than security though. some guy sees his car on a tv show or on the internet and he wants his "fair-share"of any money made from selling the images! As for my car, I'll take all the free "look-at-me,look-at-me" I can get!:D LOL
     
  8. okay,I will! {I wouldnt need to be paranoid if you werent all out to get me}:D

    My plate is my avatar pic. It is a unique plate and I'm not real worried about having anybody track me down. I use it for my avatar on the other forums were I post. BTW it reads MOTORHEAD and is on a Barbers Vintage Motorsports Musem plate. Theres not quite a thousand Barbers plates in circulation.
