Rationale behind partial serial #'s like 56xx, etc.

I've often wondered why a gun owner is reluctant to disclose the full serial no. of a gun.....especially in a forum such as this where info is needed. I've seen some 38xx's......or 8xxx. There were even picts posted with the last two digits painted over....???? Fear that the gun is stolen, and the rightful owner may recognize the SN ? I'm sure there's a simple explanation....but right now it's not appearing on my internal monitor.
