A lot of my day job is spent trying to help people understand and prioritise risks (and by people I include airlines, banks, oil companies etc) and my biggest enemy is panic and excitement caused by the media. In general, risks around someone taking photos are so negligible as to be irrelevant (sure, for some sites this sin't true, but they are pretty easy to define) - 99.99..whatever percent of thieves simply don't care enough to take photos. Even if you are rich and live in an upmarket area. Very few people would warrant that sort of effort.

These folks should try being sensible about real risks and spend money on improving driver training or educational standards, or looking after the environment or anything which may actually make a difference.

Blimming news channels and newspapers hyping everything! Gah!!!!
