I just responded to a fellow requesting my location, for material I submitted, for a family tree he is working on and since I was on the subject I thought I would throw this out there for your comments.
Quite some time back I uploaded a pic of my Tiger to our CAT website here to have it included along with other members photos of their cars. When I showed the webpage to my SO she wasn't too impressed and thought it was a rather bad idea.
The concern was about the fact that my name, city and state were all included in the caption with the picture of the car. The feelings are that it is an invitation to someone out there to easily locate the car and possibly steal it when the opportunity is right. I can see now how this might not be of just local concern but international as well, some pics provide a lot of location info and is accessible to all.
I was just wondering how others felt about this situation. Maybe having our car pics being identified as Kenny G. of La La Land or member #XXXX of So. Cal. would be of less concern. I realize these suggestions won't stop anything but at least some additional work will have to be done if someone wants to locate and take a car, maybe yours.
