    Stone me, these days with G**gle, F*c*b**k etc etc etc & HMRC, GCHQ, etc etc knowing so much about you, where you go, what you get up to, who you get up to it with (yes, even/especially that thing..) your bleedin' vehicle index plate is the least of your problems: And the number ain't even "yours", it's the state's.

    I would have thought autotrader would be the better option.

    Except that 99% of the sellers on AutoTrader fuzz/blank their numberplates for this exact reason - they don't want to get their car cloned.

    I'd be pi**ed too.

    You can do this on a daily basis just by walking.

    I think you deserve 1 million pounds in compo for the distress. It has obviously given you mental problems.

    If you're looking for a number of a similar car, why on earth would you be looking at property adverts? Surely wandering around a car park would be a better bet?

    Generally these people clone vehicles that are based at the other end of the country. They dont want the owner of the genuine vehicle to notice them driving the fake one about, therefore they will not use use number plates from local car parks.

    I've just noticed the next door property is now up for sale on the local property register. The issue I have is that because our drives are side by side my car/reg plate are clearly visible in the photo.

    Relations between me and the family since their mother died have not been particularly cordial, so my question is am I within my rights to contact selling agents/solicitors to request that photo's are amended and reg plate obscured.

    No, you don't own the photons that bounce off your car.


    Anyone can take pictures of your car, house, you or your family.
