A cautionary tale, especially for returners

[Seveen]

I think a lot of us are making a mistake saying when and where we will be staying on the meet up threads. From Sadiekat's previous post it is clear when they were arriving and departing and where they were staying. They apparently got robbed just before the vacation ended which seems to happen often. I won't be giving my exact info any more. Maybe Rondel has to look at the change they made in security.

totally agree with this! and yes folks are watching you --- i've had people tell me what i did every day of my trip and what clothes i was wearing -- and yes it usually happens toward the end of your trip --- so there's not enough time to do anything about it (not like that would really help)

IMHO - the thieves target folks they know have something to steal --- i wouldn't be a bit surprised if that door was closed - how would the thieves be able to see otherwise from the ground to the third floor - do you think thieves "go shopping" - part of the thing is quick in and out

and those on-site trip reports - well you're advertising you have a computer at a minimum and almost your every move

Roll call hotels with dates

on-site trip reports

I haven't done it for years. Besides advertising where I'll be staying, it also advertises the dates I won't be home.
