Why cover your license plate?
I am curious why some people cover up their license plates in pistures that are posted? I understand it can be for security, but we drive around all the time and it's in plain view of anybody who cares to look at it. Maybe yours is stolen and you're scared lol. Post up what you think......I wanna know

It removes any doubt one who's vehicle you find on the street.
Say I post up pics of a awesome sound system in my truck. Then have random pics of my plates. Someone could use that info to find my truck and rob me blind.
Granted its a long shot. However I have already had stuff stolen out of my first car and truck.

I've already had a car stolen from me and I've come to believe that me posting on a local car forum was enough for the c*cksucker that stole my car to collect info and find where I work to come steal my car. I'd rather be safe than to think back on all the things I could have done to prevent the theft. I think you would understand more if it actually happened to you, until then everyone seems to have the "It can't/won't happen to me attitude."

Yes, the uniformly black license plate becomes a "aesthetic black hole" and all the artistic value is sucked in past the Schwartzchild radius and is lost forever...
...fortunately there IS NO artistic value in our truck photographs, so it's okay.
