    Still rather just live... Not done me any harm so far. A sensible precaution is shielding your pin at a cashpoint, instead of not using it all together. I park wherever I choose to.

    My opinion only...



    I agree with you in principal.


    As you say, you cover the keypad at the cashpoint (my wife had her card cloned when she failed to do this).


    I have never said that you shouldn't park next to a similar car. What I said is that you should blur the number plate when selling on line. After all it's an easy precaution, just like covering the keypad at a cashpoint.

    Would you risk parking your car next to a car of identical make and similar colour?

    There must be a reason why car for sale ads feature blurred reg numbers...

    Any thoughts?

    I would worry more about parking next to a woman with kids :eek:
