IM a paranoid person...

Eric, you got a turbo. I live in the same area as you. i want your turbo. I look up your address from your plate on a special website. I find out were you live, I jack your car for parts. Thats why bro. I also recommend when you go to a mechanic or have a stereo installed you never leave your alarm control, and you use another address. There are alot of scruplous people installing stereos and then coming back and stealing them. They can copy your key and alarm fob. Happened to a friend of mine. You never win with insurance, time, not getting what your stuff was worth and your rates going up are not worth it. My alarm is anal, as well as using the autotaser and brake lock, and garaging it. Now Im not going to steal your car, just giving you an example.

Okay...well this would be the obvious thing I was talking about. I never thought a license plate database would be open fully on the internet. Now that would make since.

Its out there. I just heard a guy on identity theft on coasttocoastam, and he blew my mind. This guy was good, and writes a book called get anything on anybody.
The site is for PIs, but he said they don't check credentials. Its in his book...yikes

Just because I have insurence to pay for it, does not mean that I dont care if someone jacks my ****, its ust for security, plus if I photoshop my plates out my car looks much cooler.

and yeah I'm paranoid.
