So it comes down to this:

1. What does it cost me to blur them out
   • Time
   • Image Asthetics
   • Apparently, looking guilty of something
   • I'm proud of my custom tags and I want everybody to recognize my wealth and taste
2. What am I risking by not bluring them out.
   • Strangers reverse looking up my details
   • Theives replicating my plates after searching for my car
   • Do-gooders dobbing me in because of something I said online.

Depending on the value and probability you place on each item, you'll blur them out or not.

I blur my plates to improve the aesthetics, but it's more of a paint out than a blur. Some look more "real" than others, but I think it's an improvement over just a big giant blur or a finger over the plate. I takes a little more time, but I'm in photoshop with these photos anyway:
