    Any bumper sticker threatening gun violence to thieves merely informs them fhat you own the only thing that gets more valuable when stolen

      There is a car where i work that has 5 ish different bad dragon head stickers with no mention of the brand name. No one can call them out without admitting they know what the logo is, and they keep adding more. They are my hero.

        We were talking about power tools at work and I said I’m happy with my Hitachi corded drill. I was disappointed no one even blinked.

    Generic car at shopping centre: “that looks like my mates car, but I dont know for sure” Generic car + personalised plate/stickers: “oh look, mates here too”

    Why I personally dont like personalising my car. Just announcing everyone your commute habbits.

    This is exactly why I don’t put shit on my car. That plus it’s incredibly lame.

    I’ll appreciate a funny one on someone else’s car though. And I also appreciate when someone puts a sticker on clearly showing they’re not worth even talking to, like political stickers or racist right wing extremist cult nonsense.

    I have a big sticker that says “honk if you’re a silly goose” and another that says “eat the rich”

    so… what does that say about me? :p

    I don’t put stickers on my cars typically. But man is this paranoid to the extreme. Unless you’re driving an expensive car it’s unlikely it would make you a target for anything other than road rage.

      I mean, my spouse has received death threats because of her line of work. We have 2 small children and we make sure they have no online presence at all (no pictures, comments, tags, etc), and we intentionally make sure to not have anything identifiable like this on our car. Our other family members have been included in threats before. If someone, for any reason, is targeting you, youre actually giving them a ton of information. Its easier to just not put it on your car and not risk it

    Shit like this is why nobody cares about privacy any more.

    Bunch of security media post stupid article about how stickers are leaking into and people just add it to the collection of dumb privacy shit they are told and don’t give a fuck about.

    Nobody is seeing a baseball sticker and using that to rob your house. It’s made up of fantasy shit that doesn’t occur in the real world.
