I blot mine out before posting photos because it is information no one needs to know. Not to be paranoid as I use my name and have posted my name more than once so obviously I am not trying to hide but my license plate number, just like my driver's license number, is information that cannot possibly help anyone and there is a possibility that it could cause harm. Besides all of that, it is really easy to cover the number up.

It just seems to be a standard thing on any car/motorcycle forum I've been a part of, when people post pics of their vehicle they always cover their license plate or edit the picture so the numbers aren't visible. What's the logic behind this? Hundreds of people see my license plate on the road everyday. Am I missing something?
