Question Why do people cover their license plates in photos?

I have never been able to figure this out....

People think that others will be able to track down their car and steal / harm it.

Or falsely report it to the police in connection with a crime ("saw a gray mercedes with license plate XXX")...there are lots of scary/crazy people out there. I have heard of this happening so I always cover up the plate.

Or others will be able to track them down and harm them. Generally the less personal information posted online for public consumption, the better.

That's why I go by the name "Dee8go" on here. Surrisingly, my real name is not Dee8go.
