Why no location?

I have noticed most people do not list location on their account/membership. Also when people post photos of the back to their vehicle they cover up the license plate. WTH for, you drive around every day with it exposed to everyone, what's the deal there? Curious as to why on both accounts. People will post things vague like "up here in the north", "down here in the south" or "over here in the east" but have no location listed. Why so obscure and arcane?

For me, I don't list a specific location because anyone can come in here and read these boards. The things that we post can and do show up in searches. Members often list the modifications they've done to their trucks. Sometimes those mods can be several thousand dollars, or even tens of thousands in rare instances. Also, people often mention other "toys" they own. And even provide pictures of those. So it stands to reason that since anyone can come in and read these boards, we don't want to make it easy to locate us. So that less than honorable people won't know where to go to steal their stuff. It would be pretty easy to find my truck if I listed the town where I live, because the population is less than a lot of high schools. LOL

Lmao I always wondered the same thing. Especially with the license plate. I tell everyone I'm in Vegas and I think my plates are usually in my photos. But then again....Vegas is a big city so I have no worries. For people in super small towns...totally understandable that they don't list their town.

I wouldn't think crime would be a problem for a small town

Depends on the crime. Some small towns around here are meth infested and high crime areas. I was concerned a week or so ago when getting fuel off I12 in a certain parish I won't mention, but anyone here knows.

So if your passing through my area stop by for a coke.
If ya have ill intentions I will give ya a great reason for being in ICU for a very long time.

I'm always up for a truck show or a cruise G2G for lunch.

Haha you guys are funny. Actually, I'll offer a beer and/or cigar to anyone here who stops by. It's the non-members who come here from a google search that I'm more worried about. There is a major state highway which runs through my town so it's not unheard of for someone passing through to stop and help themselves to something while most people are at work. I'm not worried about the hours when I'm at home.

Well I live in Rhode Island...
....And All Of It's Providence Plantations, or did they vote that name away? That red really stands out, you'd get more looks if you had a 3 or 4 digit plate though :sneaky:

Dookie has a point to this question: if your going to make a post about poor AC performance, for example, it provides a better understanding of the problem if folks know what part of the country your in. (ie: Las Vegas versus Nome, Alaska).
