Remind me of my ex-gf I had on my Facebook for a while. She liked to be show off, which I think nowadays is not that big of as deal. But she would literally invite crime to her house! On her public Facebook profile she didn't post her address, BUT she had bunch of photos: her with the Living Complex sign, her next to her doors (with apartment number on it), photos of her inside house with beautiful 85" TV and other equipment including expensive bikes, then finally her photo with the car showing license plate (revealing her state name).

I told her numerous times its not a good idea but she never listened! Then I told her publicly on her car photo that she should at least wipe out the plate number, which created a long trail of comments where basically all her friends thought I'm weird and creepy and why would I be warning her (perhaps I want to commit some crime??). No amount of explaining helped. Even telling cops will tell her the same thing got me bunch of her "friends" answering "you ain't a cop, bro". And then one fine Friday I saw her posting they leaving for another state to visit family. Boy it was a discovery when they come back Monday morning their house was cleaned out from every possible valuable belongings. And thieves must have came with a large enough truck to fit that 85" TV screen.

Not long after she removed me from her FB even though I never told her "told you so".

The bottom line is I don't believe people will learn not to give a clues online and I think in these days of age it should be an hour mandatory lesson at the school what NOT to post online.
