Yeah, that was my question. As if anybody driving down the street can't read
your license number... goofy. I think maybe they are extrapolating from the
general reluctance to post VIN numbers on the web (which is also paranoid,
IMO). I mean, who's more likely to steal your car -- some guy on the
Internet a thousand miles away, or somebody in your home town who sees your
car on the street?
