Showing license plate in pictures?!?

I have always thought that it was unnecessary. How many cars have you ever seen at any car show where the plate was covered up? If somebody was looking to steal a car by creating bogus paperwork you would would think that they would go to a major car show and start there.

Question to the Members: How many of you have personally been involved in a situation where somebody claimed title to your car using bogus paperwork by just having the plate number?
