[mach schnell]

come on guys, knowing that your license plate is perfectly visible to the anyone else on the street when you drive your car, can't you wrap your brains around this - isn't blacking your plate out on line to avoid the small chance that someone might track you down and take your car, the same thing as saying i'm not going to go outside without a mask because someone might be hiding in a tree today with the intent of shooting all the naven johnsons on the planet (assume for a moment your name is naven johnson...) or saying i'm not going to the grocery store because a plane may fall from the sky into the store...

really, if you're that worried - park the car in a climate controlled personal showroom and make sure cameron and ferris don't the keys. and god forbid you ever go outside without taking baby steps, wearing your respiratory mask, sterile gloves and watching out for any falling planes, asteroids, random tree hiding snipers, car thiefs, aliens, gnomes, smurfs, etc. and, oh yeah, stay off the internet!
