Its a case of Monkey see Monkey do.
XXing out the whole serial is like covering your license plate for fear someone will report your car stolen.
We post whole serial numbers on the collector side without any fear.
The belief that somebody might report their gun stolen doesnt stand up to scrutiny, One would have to be a fool to go to the extent of filing a false police report to use the law to steal your gun,
All you would have to do is provide your receipt that pre dates his phony report and that guy would go to jail.
