This does not surprise me at all. Have heard and seen the info posted on the net being used as a source of leads in all type of investigations.
The posting of car photos with out the licence plate blanked out is a risky business. Sure you might know it your friend’s car and you know the reg number. But this type of info and data is not know to all parties and once on the web can be collected and save for use at a future date. It is a bit like creating an on line profile of the person and car and when you put a year worth of post together you get a lot of detail. |
