I don't do that, but I think the theory is it can prevent theft.
I can see that thinking, at least when it comes to a semi unique car.
Say, an '88 911. True, anyone on the street can see your plate. But what are the odds that a thief looking to fill an order for a G50 Carrera is going to run across you?
But he could comb ads, and find a car.
Now, can he track down your address from the plate number?
I don't know. I think in the old days it wasn't too hard, but the privacy laws in most states seem to be a bit tighter these days.
Is it impossible? Probably not.
Anyways, my guess is that's the theory.
