How do our posts on these forums make us vulnerable to theft and scams? I just did a search for images of a certain car and wound up with photos of two cars that I owned one of which was not even the object of the search. I traced the origin of the two photos back to posts made here. Seems like it could be a great smorgasbord for car thieves and scammers. This is especially true for owners of older cars that have gone ballistic in value. How can we protect ourselves? Do we wipe out our profiles? What about garage listings here and on other on line parts distributors? I once was paranoid when my 69 911 S was stripped back in the days of high Porsche theft in L. A. I sold the S and bought a Miura which I figured was of lesser interest to thieves and much harder for them to fence. We have a great group, but there are some unsavory lurkers who could do some major damage. What can we do to be proactive and defeat and put away these scumbags?
