Subject:Re: License Plates in online pictures - a risk or not?

Funny ,I just heard about a guy who had a personal plate made that
read "NONE" thinking it would just mess up the System . What it did was get
him 12000 parking tickets . Be careful what you wish for.
      Any way ,what is the difference if your car is parked on the street
or driving down the Freeway or parked at the grocery store .  I think the
people who worry about it are the same people who lock their front door
when they are outside gardening and they keep their glove box locked  .
       Big deal if people want to want to find out where you . Go by this
motto and life will be better    "Be nice to your neighbors ,they know
where you live .
