Listen to me, as someone who once dealt with very sophisticated criminals in federal court on daily basis, the last thing you want to do is put any personal information on the internet that calls attention to the fact that you have assets worth plundering. And no you don't have to be a billionaire. The profit in these crimes is not in going after a big whale but scooping up all the sardines. The license plate information is not all that relevant but more so the fact that you're not very cautious, and with cyber security in its current state (i.e. poor) a well-traveled criminal probably figures you are sloppy about other things too. Someone who understands the reach that the internet has doesn't take uncessary risk. Case in point, most people have their banking with one of three major banks. Their internet provider with one of only a couple of companies. All of these have been hacked. It's not your physical property they'll be checking out. That's a high risk/low reward proposition that migh actually get them caught... One time we had a guy come on a bank fraud arrest. He had so many different alliases that they weren't sure which was correct so they listed all of them. It took up nearly the whole first page of the complaint. When the he came in wearing belly chains and hand cuffs I figured his age to be about 15. Okay this was like 15 years ago when these sorts of thigns were actually hard to do.
