I hear you Modoc! Not that different here, what I put value on is not mainstream by any means.
So - we have a town now. Very good! I could as well give you my address but it would do you no good. The only way to find our house with it would be to quiz up the ladies at the post office and they are sworn to secrecy by management on that account.
Don't even bother with that route though, my wife works there and delivers our mail. You would have a better chance of getting past the Kremlin than her! |
Is she an RSMC? I'm a former LC and now a PO4!

Three days and so far and no:
Name
Address
Photo
Phone number
Town
Nobody skulking around the property (no bloody bits of clothing or body parts) - looks like I'm going to have to buy more dog food after all!  |
Could it just be that nobody gives a damn?  |
I don't lock my doors.
But.... my possessions are so obscure that I really doubt anybody would know what to do with them. |

In Idaho and Montana, the first digit or two of the plate number are indexed to the county where the car is registered.
Mine starts with 7B, which is Bonner County. 9B is up north of us in Boundary County. K is south, in Kootenai County. And so on...

I was just doing a bit of reminiscing, back in the '50s, 60s and up to the mid '70s you could tell what town a car came from by the first 3 letters on the licence plate. There were groups of letters that appeared commonly in the town you lived and after a while it was possible to pick out a car from your home town in another town by the plate prefix. It was also possible to spot a new comer to your town by an unfamiliar prefix. Us kids used to make a game of it.
That was back when we were given a new plate with a new number and new color scheme at registration time every year. They stopped that practice... I want to say... about '77. Sticks in my mine because I bought my Rabbit new in '76 and the blue and yellow plates clashed with the red car. I was so happy that the new permanent plate color was red and white. |

This below. In Alberta you cannot access this info through a plate number honestly.

Now - level with us and tell us how you got that. I am pretty sure it was not from my plate number. Is it in one of my posts here? I tried Googling OPRN and nothing useful comes up. |
I found your town by googling your username, and you had provided it in your profile from another forum, as stated by the above poster. I guess I got sidetracked. To my knowledge, there is no legal way for Joe Public to access registered owner information from your license plate in Alberta, and most likely all provinces and territories. |

You use the same username on Pelican Parts, and have your town listed in your profile

Will this still apply after Alberta secedes? |
LOL. I don’t know, I’ll move to the island if Alberta separates! |

Anyone in this thread who admits to obfuscating his tag in pictures posted online and is also Facebook is a fool. You're giving away large quantities of personal data, not to mention exposing yourself to an untold number of security flaws to a less than ethical entity.

Ding ding! You definitely don’t strike me as being fun at parties. And living in a town of less than 1000 people, there probably isn’t much to do there anyway. |
There seemed to be no shortage of guys giving enough of a damn to tell me how wrong I was but when is comes time to come up with the proof only one guy did and he found out it's not at all as easy as advertised.
My thanks to him for his efforts. So much of what we believe these days is based on fear and rumor, not fact. |
