    I saw this one out at a nearby lake on Memorial Day last year. Had to take a picture. Since then I've seen 2 or 3 other cars with the same sticker. Might be warped of me, but I thought it was funny.

    I don't really get the point. Is it for the parents, so they don't have a live action Home Alone scenario?

    "Alright kids, line up!"
    *counts kids on car* *counts kids in line*
    "Okay! We're ready to go!"

    Yeah, that freaks me out too. I've seen a bunch of SUV's with the entire family of stick figures including names. That, in combination with the "support such and such elementary school" bumper sticker makes it WAY to easy.

    I roared.

    I dont get this - granted I have not seen or heard about names being included, but on the whole - I don't see the issue with it. In most cases, I can tell just by walking past your car if you have children or not. Often, you can even guess how many and what sex they are. Not to mention people can get the same information from just seeing you in your vehicle.
    All of the information these stickers provide (with the exception of the name which I have no seen as mentioned), is easily learned any number of other ways.

    I don't have them because I don't like them. I don't see it as a safety issue.

    ETA - perhaps I should consider them depicting my 3 large dogs. I'm guessing they won't be likely to follow me home.

    I saw a report a few years ago that would terrify any parent. A group of parents were asked it they thought their children would go off with a stranger if approached, everyone said absolutely not, they have been taught about the dangers and are "street smart". A police officer posing as someone who had lost his dog in a park was able to lure most of the children off the playground to look for the dog, only a couple of them ran. Imagine how easily this could happen if some freak had all of the information posted on the vehicle. Yes this information is available very easily, but why put it on display for every pervert and freak to see. I just don't get the reasoning behind it.

    I saw one on a mini with 2 guys in bow ties this weekend. That was a first for me. Also one with 7 children, 3 dogs and a cat. I really don't need to know that much about random strangers I'm driving behind...

    I don't like bumper stickers, or window decals. But I want to get a personalized license plate frame that says something like "Protected by a Hell Hound" since I'm almost ALWAYS with my dog whose nick name is "hell hound" or "devil dog".

    There is a big suburban that drove the same commute as me- it had an entire zombie family.

    I like the chain saw one killing the stick people- that amuses me.

    I personally think they are stupid- and I get annoyed at the ones with the mickey mouse hats or anything else insipid... But the funny sarcastic ones amuse me- still wouldn't get them.

    Really? People put their names on them? Most of the time I just ignore them but do appreciate some of the funny ones. My friend's Hubby got ones that all look like The Stig from Top Gear.

    It can happen easily any way, with or without the stickers. Again, with the exception of the name, I don't see how any of this information provides any extra danger. People put stickers that their kids play hockey - do you also hide their equipment from sight in your vehicle? What about team jackets, tshirts and uniforms (some of them even have names).
    I'm all for being aware and being cautious, but I just don't think this is the hazard people seem to believe it is.

    I hate them. And as a joke my ex and his friend covered my car in them.

    This is what I was thinking. I won't know you have 3 boys and 2 girls when I see you loading up into said min-van in the grocery store parking lot. It's not that hard to get the information if you really need it. Also, I have no idea how many times I walk through the parking lot, and see people's mail, and work badges, etc sitting in plain view in their car. For instance, I saw this morning, as I got out of my car, the car next to me had a photo ID badge for a person with her full name in bright letters from John Deere hanging from her rear-view mirror. She also had an envelope from her cable company with her address on the front seat. If I were a creepy(ier) weirdo, I now know this young attractive woman's name, and address. She most likely has no kids based on the age she looks in the photo ID, coupled with the lack of cheerios in the seat cushions, and car seats. No stick figures in the windows, nor any stickers at all.

    The other thought is, if i wanted, I bet I could either google the name, or look on fb, and get even more info. So many have their privacy settings set so low, that you can get pics of their kids at athletic events, etc.

    Bottom line, if a stalker really wants to, they can get your info.

    Took this one a few years back. Outside a Michael's craft store.

    I wonder too, but I mean, if someone has a minivan, chances are they have a few kids.

    I saw one car that had like 10 cat stick figures. It was awesome.

    I'll catch heck for this but I have had this in my mind for a long time, ever since those stickers came out.

    Picture it as a comedy sketch if it makes you feel better.

    Mass murdered takes out two people in a house.
    Runs out in the garage and checks the back of the car, two more, really?
    Back into the house and takes out one more.
    Back in the garage to check, only one more.... snd a cat!
    Back in the house...

    I had the zombie family stickers on my car up until recently. Only took it off because some of them started peeling. Really, there's only so much paranoia that I can give a f*** about. Is letting somebody know there are 2 adults, 1 kid, 1 cat and 1 dog in my family really going to make it easier for them to somehow attack me? As far as being annoying, if that's the worst of your troubles, you're welcome. :P

    I'm going to get some of the Star Trek/Star Wars stickers at some point and just mix and match on the back windshield, just to really annoy my fellow geeks. ;)

    i think they are pretty stupid but not nearly the security risk you make them out to be.

    OMGOMGOMG!!!! You mean somebody might be able to LOOK at my car and know that I have kids???? and then I'll be in MORTAL DANGER because of this information leak??? HOW AM I NOT ALREADY DEAD???

    Because yeah, it takes stick figures to realize that i have two daughters. Looking at the two pink car seats doesn't tip anyone off. Seeing the dolls doesn't tip anyone off. The toys from the girl's Happy Meal doesn't tip anyone off. No, it's STICK FIGURE PEOPLE, and CRAZY CRAZY CRIMINALS GONNA FOLLOW ME HOME NOW AND KILL ME.

    they may even have golf clubs.

    I once saw a stick figure with 4 coat hangers.





    True story.
