Ever Worry about Posting?
#52
Guess I should add that I have been stalked...twice. Once by a psycho female, and once by an ex-boyfriend. Both occurances long before the term stalking was used, and long before the internet.

I do sometimes wonder about the wisdom of posting a lot about the high end machines one owns, or photographs in which valuables might be visible in the background. But for the most part, the topics covered on this board are not terribly likely to be high interest to the criminal element. Even the sewing rooms stocked to the gills with great fabric stashes aren't probable theft concerns . . . unless the price of cotton goes much higher than anyone anticipates.

My Dh says put up a sign, "Have a shotgun loaded three days of the week, you figure out which which three days." Plus an electric gate helps...Can't do much about the pictures on google with a big star over the top of your house.

There is a site, can't remember the name that posted your public info, so curiosity got the best of me, I went to the site and posted my name and waaalaaa there I was, map to my house and all my address info, included my phone number, even had a picture of my driveway and I was like how in the heck or when did they do this......
