when people post pictures of there bikes why do they blank out there number plate? i dont get it!
I liken it to posting your missus all over the net, you wouldn't do that but she can go out in public for all the world to see.......same same, each to his own I say.
I think it was a good question to ask Will. What is dumb to some is quite resonable to others. It's good to hear all the different reasons and aspects come out, as some people would not have considered a certain response, untill it became apparent from you asking the question. What is apparent however, is the fact that what is resonable to you, is different from me and different from the next bloke all sharing their ideas on this forum, so others can be informed from the question asked. Does that make sense?
like others have mentioned , i would have thought that it is far easier to identify bike locations through ebay than a photo on a forum ... better yet , join any number of social clubs to scope out the bikes ...
being paranoid about number plate id on the net is giving thieves far too much credit .
