If they want your car they are going take it, blur license plate or not.

From a security standpoint, you can say this about a lot of things. I mean, by that logic, why have door locks at all? If they want your car or stuff, they can just smash the window.

I don't live under the illusion that my car is completely secure like whoa. And to me, it's less about theft than vandalism. Bad guys can still find me, ok? But why would I make it any easier?

If you have locks on your door, people can still break in, but they have to go through more trouble to do so, and it may deter them.

If someone really wants to punk me or find me, they can do it by searching through this site, ok? But not by just looking at pictures of my car that I've posted.

Ever.

I agree. Just not right...

Also, vanity tags should be excluded from this discussion. If you have personalized vanity tags, you've already painted a target on yourself, so what would it matter if you post it online?

True, but if you live under the illusion that blurring your plate will keep your car safe, you are really just fooling yourself. Bad stuff happens to nice people and nice cars. That's why I have insurance! (and alcohol.... )

It's a step of abstraction. People can walk up to my house and vandalize my car while I'm at work. That can happen.

Someone can get mad at me on here and seek my car to vandalize it.

Leaving my house number and license plates in my pix makes that easier.

It's not about absolute prevention, it's about minor obfuscation.

It's not a complete illusion. It's about keeping a smaller target on me.

And if you think it's just plain paranoia, well good for you, you go live your life and let me stay warm under my false security blanket. Go live the good life, and rage at blurred license plates on internet forums. whoopty do.

I'm getting more than a little tired of these forums lately. Group think. Can't have anything different out there, or we immediately shout it down. Any aberration cannot be tolerated. We all must think the same and act the same ways, or else we will be ostracized and ridiculed.

I'm no angel in this regard. I'm guilty of it all the time. I just grow weary of the same old song, every day. Going on forum vacation. Go get stuffed.
