Why do people blur their number plates?

I bought something from a fellow forum member and with just his name and address I was able to see his property tax! I wasn't looking for info, just wanted to see the kind of roads he has to ride in his area(I'm pea-green with envy!) Here in Indiana you can always tell direction from a light aircraft(I used to fly) because all the farm fence-rows and most roads are north-south or east-west unless there is a river, lake or railroad. So I don't blame people for trying to protect their privacy, to say nothing of their Bike!:rockon: Rich (in name only)

well I guess I really just blur my plates because I'm pretty sure someone out there has a much better head for coming up with nasty things to use my platenumber for than I do. No reason not to really.
And I feel justified having just read the previous posts - at least two or three good reasons mentioned there that I hadn't come up with.

So call me misanthropic, but I just trust ppl to be devious.
