None are me. I don't actually live in Tampa, I live just north of it.
I also lived in Saint Petersburg, FL, Spencer, NY, Bennington, KS, and Malibu, CA in the last three years.
PS: When using google, you can specify a state, like "FL" for all matches in the state.

No bullshit , happened to a friend I knew, happens ALL THE TIME , so DO NOT PUT YOUR LISCENSE PLATE ON THE WEB.
Ok that is all, 8P

Think about it. When the police show up, and see there is no damage to the alleged "hit and run" vehicle, and you deny being involved in a hit and run, guess where the police are going next? Back to the person who made the false police report! Hardly a scam any semi-intelligent person is likely to engage in.

Ironic that on http://www.abika.com/Reports/LicensePlates.htm Oregon is one of three states where they can not get your name from your license number. In reality in Oregon the password protected DAVE system was proceeded by being able to purchase the whole data base of license numbers and addresses for $19.95 from the state until someone decided it was a bad thing.

hmmz i dunno why everyone is thinking about tracking you ... they could care less ... think of it this way
They get a car same color as yours and hit their own car and the guy goes off , they have some made up witness, that said they saw you hit their car , and they got your liscense plate and make and model and said you hit and run .... Then they sue you cause they make up some injury ...
They do this alot to the rich people especially
Basically if this happens, it's your word against theirs ... and they got a witness , wow I love america .....
Anyways, basically this happened to my mom, and she got to the point where the other guy got scared and drop the insurance claim ...

Now just imagine that someone gets really pissed off at you...and they are able to gather information such as your SSN, address. Do you have a clue of the damage they can do?

The other site wants between $35 and $70 to attempt a license plate search, and who knows what you actually get with that money. If you PayPal me $35 I'll proudly tell you what hand I beat off with.

I don't think I blank out mine, as it is a personalized plate. However, when I post pics of someone else's car I blank out their plate out of courtesy - some people are sensitive about that. I think it's kind of become standard car forum netiquette.

Certainly there is no law against posting pics of cars and their license plates on the internet, but I do agree that "netiquette" would make it the proper thing to do.

I think most people blur thier plates for the reason of the car being located...
Yeah, while it may be no big deal on the street locally, but you also have to remember that you are not listed all your mods on the side of the car either.
If you post your plate along with a long list of what's in the car, then the car becomes easier to find and steal IMO.

thats what she said
oh, and if you post pics with your liscenese plate... someone can go to a dealer and have "Connections" and find your address and such.
some people will do not nice things.
