Why blur your licence plates in photos?

[funcrew]

Because the army of elite, MIT-trained computer hackers employed by the international syndicate of exotic car theives are constantly trolling the internet looking for $500 rust-bucket E30s to steal.

Once they see your license plate...it's all over.

That's what I thought. And the other thing is that my life would probably improve overall if my E30's disappeared overnight.

Alot of information is on that number. People have access to a database with the cars DMV history, has access to other information about you as well.

Literally THOUSANDS of people see the license plates on your car every day. Tell me how seeing it on the internet is ANY different.

People see your build threads, and see all the parts that have gone into the car. If they recognize it on the street it's more likely to get stolen. Sorry to say it.


Of course, if you have a POS E30, don't worry about it ;)

expensive ass wheels.

Because I like blurs? I also like whispering. Whispering is fun.

Because blur car

[chadthestampede]

'Because everybody else does it' is the simple explanation.

Just got done blurring mine on a bunch of photos. I do it just as a precaution. You can easily find where a car is register with the plate number so I'd rather not have that all over the interwebs.

Live behind a gate that's protected by armed Jamaicans, problem solved.

Yes, but there are sites that allow you to enter a plate number and find tons of somebodies personal information. I'm not paranoid enough to blur mine though.

I constantly run peoples plates that I write down while sitting in traffic. I then find where they live, and leave massive dildos on their front lawn. Better keep blurring, or you'll get a huge cock sticking out of your landscaping one night.


SRSLY....I'm gonna blur mine IRL. Don't want dem car thieves to take my plate down at a stop light and steal my car.
