Pretty surprised to see it on the road. He was driving it like he stole it when the traffic loosened up, too.

Where do I get one of those black license plates?

Seriously,what was the point of covering a car's plate that you saw in traffic? Did it have you social security number, phone number or bank account number on it or something?

My guess is that he was being respectful and polite of the 959 owner.

What's so hard to understand, Blue? It's a very-very rare Porsche. Worth about $400K. S&B posted up a picture of the car on a public road, and blocked out the plate numbers. I think that's being pretty classy and repsectful to the unknowing Porsche 959 owner.

Here's some pics of a 959 from the side. Some of the key trade-marks are the wheels and mirrors, and no rain gutters. Enjoy:

I could run the plate, find the owner's information (phone number, home address, known asoociates, etc). Knowing he probably is wealthy, I would presume his home would be fully stocked with things of like value. Criminals do their due diligence as well.

It's respectful to block the plate number so as not to provide easy searching of the owner's information.

Clear enough?

Rediculous. Anyone who sees the license plate could try to find someone's address. If it worked that way, criminals could just hang out at exotic car meets to make a living.

Point being that there are much easier ways to find someone's house than to troll a message board hoping someone will post the license plate of an expensive car.

How exactly would you "run" someone's plate ? Do you have access to LEAPS/CJIS ?
