Re: Kidnap my daughter --- Please kidnap my daughter
Not on any of my vehicles. This has been a pet peeve of mine for years. Long before I even had a daughter. As far as I know, she does not have an on-line presence either. I don't do facebook, myspace, or have a website. Oops! I just remembered there is one picture of her back when she was 3y and her first name. Oh well, almost no presence.
Oh well, almost no presence.I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Re: Kidnap my daughter --- Please kidnap my daughter
Very interesting and thought provoking thread. Wasn't it P. T. Barnum who said, "there's one born every minute" - or something like that?
Re: Kidnap my daughter --- Please kidnap my daughter
Don't get me started on that. I saw a video where a 3yo girl was screaming "dont touch me!!!" while the tsa groped her. And her idiot daddy is a tv reporter and made a piece saying it's all okay and apologizing for the tsa.bnc wrote:Almost as bad as going to the airport.

People are who and what they are. I have minimal online presence, but have also kind of decided that it doesn't really matter these days. Goobers can find you no matter what. I certainly can't be tee-totally prepared for every eventuality short of Armageddon, but can be reasonably secure in the knowledge that I have taken all reasonable precautions short of living in a self-sustaining bubble on the surface of Mars......
Being prepared certainly doesn't mean that the bad things aren't going to happen. I hope they won't. An alarm, a lock, a sign....all they really do is keep an honest person honest. They may slow down the baddies, but they aren't an absolute.
If someone wants to advertise their familial status on their vehicle, that's their business (and perhaps folly). I can't control them any more than I can control the weather. There have predators looking for chinks in the armor of families since time immemorial, and they don't seem to be going away anytime soon.
My big flat screen TV can be seen from the street if the blind is open during the day. My kids can be seen playing with friends on the street and in the yards. My car can be seen in the driveway, and my Harley in the garage. I can't keep my life hidden from others, I can only be as prepared as possible (having a CHL helps, but does not prevent). I just do the best I can.....
