(In the U.S.) if you have a plate number, you can lookup the name, address, social security and things like this of the owner. With the social security # especially and the other info, alot of bad things can be done like identity theft. Its just a chain of gaining more and more info which lead to them using your credit card, etc.
But the fact is that EVERYBODY can see the plate of the cars while parked in front of your house or while driving it!! Where is the point in hiding them on the net? You should also hide them when you use the car!
