Team-BHP - Why do we all cover-up the number plates of our cars/bikes/scooters in pictures?

- - Why do we all cover-up the number plates of our cars/bikes/scooters in pictures? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian-car-scene/49270-why-do-we-all-cover-up-number-plates-our-cars-bikes-scooters-pictures.html)

Many of us post pictures of our cars in threads, posts and in the team BHP garage.Some of us camouflage the number plates so that the car/bike number is not visible for others. I have never done it on my cars/bikes and have rarely done so in the other pictures posted by me.
What could be the reason for the camouflage? I hope we will have a lively discussion on this issue with many views being put forth here.
According to me, its just a state of mind and nothing else.
Here's a car picture I posted with a camouflaged number plate a few days back, as the owner wanted to remain anonymous.

Very observative thread!
This thing came to my mind a couple of times, but just did not post!
I think its got to do with the same mantality by which people do not register with their true names & are reluctant to share their pics.
Most believe web is not a safe place!

Thanks greenhorn saw the thread MODS may merge if need be. Members have voiced opinions some of which are quite justified, maybe!

He has a good reason to remain anonymous :D

J/k

I know you must be curious but why not use the search feature to find out the reasons.

There was no need for a new thread IMHO (and I can see that you have created not one but two threads with the same title)

Please Avoid posting multiple threads with same title.

Please refer to the thread provided by greenhorn.
