I've seen some of the comments floating abot, about the idea to have a
central place for everyone to post particulars about their cars, it's
modifications, history, etc. My thoughts are, What a wonderful shopping
list for someone looking to steal a car. He/she can search for the exact
one they want, maybe just for a part or two. Yeah, I know it'll be password
protected, but you know what, so was the DoD, NASA, and DoE systems.
Finding something on the net that is protected is just like waving a red
flag in front of the bull. Hackers just gotta try. And I am convinced that
none of us has more expertise than the gov'ment. Something as simple as
having the License plate number showing, or the vin number might point a
person to a DMV database which gives your home address. Opps your car is
gone?
Well, While I have a pretty nce Tiger, I want to keep it, so I wont be
posting mu info to any public data base even though it is supposed to be
private.
my 2 cents worth.
plus what Steve said about not telling what is bad...
