About the blog
It turns out my vehicle isn't the only one emitting radio signals from the frame and body wherever the metal curves or angles. Other vehicles in the neighborhood are doing that too. How far that extends is unknown but it seems unlikely the effect is picking cars to just follow.
It you read the post [Driving: post moved back a week to try and confirm details] then you know how the presence of radio frequency current allows speakers to become microphones and microphones to become speakers. The sound quality from either isn't particularly great. But it may not be your symphonies someone's interested in.
Everyone who believes their life is so boring that no one would waste time trying to listen or watch them should now say something like "no one is listening or watching to you in your vehicle". That's paranoid and implies you have something to hide. That's not necessarily true for either point but a future post can explain why.
Ultimately it's safe to assume that without someone listening and a vehicle somehow accidentally broadcasting "messages" that speakers-as-microphones can pick up - it hardly matters.
But what if someone placed receiving antennas along the streets and highways to listen in? The location of the antenna might even have an effect on what types of things are picked up by the antenna.
Want to hear people "swear" as if to say "I need to take care of that traffic ticket"? Place the antenna near a court house. Want to hear bad or good financial details in some form? Place an antenna near a casino or bank.
If that was done it might be realized the things we expect to hear for any given location are often backwards from the reality. And once it's known where best to listen it might seem that people are intentionally driving by just to leave "messages". Except they're obviously private and were never meant to be heard.
What's an ideal location in, say, University City that might provide "messages" about religion, city government, or tax exempt status for religion if an antenna were placed there to snoop on drivers?
The location is obvious but don't expect those topics.
Whatever is "thought out loud" might just as easily be about recent weddings, how buildings should be functional over stylish, or whatever Tom Cruise is up to nowadays.

Just keep all your thoughts to yourself and you'll still be fine.
