Is this really a risk? Can somebody use this info in a bad way? Is it a security or privacy issue really? And how would somebody use this info or do something with it? I really cannot think of how some bad guy would do something with the info. I guess if someone worked at the DMV they could look up my address (and get arrested), but so what, you can do that in other ways.

Yes, it's an egregious sin to post photo's of our vans with the license plate showing …. it's why I drive around the Intermountain Region of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, and even venture into California, Oregon and Washington, with my license plate covered up. I don't want to put myself at risk. (WINK)
