Yep, but how do we keep you at bay?

Ummm... Did you post this in the thread you wanted it in?...

I don't understand why even question it -  - if a person feels more secure by blocking it out then good for them - doesn't matter if blocking it out has merit or not, it's a matter of perception.

Someone asked the OP why he hadn't blurred/blocked it, so he asked our opinion ... nothing more.

I wasn't making a derogatory statement - it shouldn't matter what someone does with their personal property is all I was saying.

Never said it was derogatory - but if we didn't care about what someone does with their property we would have a forum full of posts that did not have much in them

Speaking of government (somewhere above).....we all had a meeting one Thursday morning at good ole Ft. Benning to inform us that several laptops had been stolen out of car that contained (in not so many words) our entire lives on them.  The laptops belonged to a medical officer......needless to say we were all very pissed.  They did nothing about it, only informed us we shoukd monitor our checking accounts & credit reports for awhile.   Gee Thanks.....

I agree.  People can do what they want with their own personal property.  I was just wondering what people's rationale is for doing it.  That's all.

Lock and load, CYA cause no one else is gonna, and excellent info High Pockets thanks.  FOIA is a scary thing, easy on some notes and a lot of footwork/keystrokes on others~

If someone want to come out to my house and break into my garage and steal my bike it's not a big deal.  First they have to make sure they don't wake me up and possibly get greeted by my 357.  If they are successful my home owners insurance will cover it fully or even my bike insurance will cover it fully.  I may be without a bike for a bit but what I get in return is a "new" bike with enough money to return it to the previous state or make it mine again with different add-ons.  I just don't sweat things like my plate being on the internet.

Only a 357 I am thinking a 50AE is more like it.  Don't even need to pull the trigger just turn on light let them see the gun and then say Go Ahead Make My Day.  Quite effective last week 2.guys passed out and wet themselves in my garage. I really should not have done that to my son in laws.        just kidding.

I'm thinking he has never looked down the barrel of the business end of a 357 that he was not holding.  It's more than enough to get your attention...
