I've noticed in online ads and auctions for cars that the sellers often 
blur, cover, or other wise obscure the license plate in the photos.  Why do 
they do this?

What mischief can someone potentially do just by knowing the license plate 
number?

What disadvantage might the seller suffer when others know the license plate 
number?

After all, everyone who sees your car in public can see and record your 
license plate.  If it's OK there, why not in photos on the Internet?
