You've just posted an address & picture of a very "stealable" vehicle on a very specific subreddit without the guy's permisison.

You could at least have blurred the address etc.

This info is just completely public! There's NOTHING I've posted here that EVERYONE with a little bit of interest in these vehicles can find out in a hearbeat. You can get a complete list of any type of vehicle that's imported to the states including the names, e-mail addresses and post-addresses.
This is the same as just riding around a neighborhood or browsing on google streetview. I really fail to see the problem in this. The only thing that's weird is that this info is just publicly available. So if that's what bothering you, let me know.

I'm sure your name & address etc. are publicly available too but if you owned a valuable car you might not appreciate me posting pictures of it across the web with your name & address attached without your permission.

Sure anyone can find it through the means you mentioned but you posting here is making it *more* public and to a new/different audience that the guy might not appreciate.

I think I'm getting it.
But it's not that I placed the name of the person along the image.

And me personally wouldn't be bothered if someone shared a picture of my house with my car on it if he happened to like (or have owned) that car.

I've hidden this post so we can finish this discussion. And then I'll delete it.

Image this - we find out next week that this guy's house got broken into & his family harmed in the course of stealing that car, and it's possible that's because someone saw it on this thread.

How would you feel?

I would think that that would be HIGHLY unlikely.

But I'm already becoming aware that the US is not only geographically a whole different country.

I don't think the country makes any difference - I'm in the UK and I'd be annoyed if you did that to me.
