Man Suspects Burglars Were Tipped Off by Out-of-Town Tweets
If you're going out of town, you're supposed to have someone come by to take in your mail and newspapers so as not to advertise the fact that your home is empty. Therefore, it should go without saying that putting a sign on your front door that says "temporarily unoccupied" would be about as dumb as it gets. So if you're careless about what you post online, you may be doing just that.
According to a Friday report by ABC News, East Mesa, Arizona's Israel Hyman recently discovered this the hard way when his home was robbed of thousands of dollars in computer equipment while he was out of town. When his father, Gerry, stopped by to check on the house, he found the back door jimmied open and his son's Mac Pro, a pair of 23-inch LCD screens, and other equipment missing. Israel believes that the thieves might have been tipped off by his Twitter messages, which also update his Facebook status. He told ABC News that anyone reading his Twitter updates (and Facebook) would have known he was leaving town.
Israel has no intention of quitting his favorite social networking services, though he says from now on he will be more careful about what information he posts online. Clearly, a good idea. We just hope the rest of you don't learn that lesson the hard way.
Swayze's Beast Cancelled
Joe Jonas And Camilla Belle WALKING
Hey perez why don't u post about David Carradine who was the actor from Kill Bill…. He passed away.
read about this 3 days ago, Perez; get with it!
Re: LaDiva – Hes too slow just wait he will copy and paste from another site, and say its exclusive and that hes the first to post it.
Seriously? This is kinda old news. But still, that dude was an idiot.
Re: LaDiva – Re: LaDiva –
Yeah for reals!!!
Who is dumb enough to advertise they will be away for a week.
Dumbass.
hahahahahahaha
wow, fail. lol
Re: LaDiva – wait he has to report about adam glamber going into the closet again first….
What a moron.
that's why you don't put personal fu*king info in the internet. ppl r dumb.
OMG,. How stupid is that. That's just a case of NOT using your brains.
Joe Jonas should have worn a white catsuit perhaps????
and Twitter, like EVERY and any new technology is dangerous at it's inception because of the bugs, 1st Gen is for impulse buyers.
Letting people know what you're doing and where you are isalways dangerous, especially strangers.
Kudos for the bandits for exemplary capitalism i nthe new age. Fail to Tweeters for not knowing that 1) personal info about oneself and 2) strangers DO NOT MIX WELL.
Why are people always trying to tell how something that Perez posted is 'old news'? What are you complaining about? Don't like it, then get your info and entertainment somewhere else - bet it won't be as fun though…
Re: LaDiva – after a little more self promotion i am sure he will get around to it
Re: Digital J – Perhaps because "Perez" himself barely post on this site, he has lackeys that do it for him. And if they're posting shit this old, then obviously they aren't doing THEIR job very well.
Re: LizardKinG – Re: JigSaw – lol
DUMB-ASS!
You Don't Post All Your Shit On Twitter
Or Facebook! Everyone (But This Guy!!)
Knows That!
Re: natashaliddleston – NATASHALIDDLESTON IS A STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLE PEREZ HAS ADMITTED THE CASTRO THING WAS A MISTAKE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS U R SUCH AN UNEDUCATED IDIOT U WOULD THINK CARRADINE A DRUNK AND DRUG ADDICT IS A LEGEND
not surprised more crimes are committed.. there's one chick i follow on twitter who, when posting pics, it also shows her exact location on a map. she posts pics of her car, including license plates. her neighborhood, all innocently but, it frightens me how open she is about posting things.
im grateful im not that naive about the internets
I Think Twitter is more dangerous then both myspace or facebook. Stupid people are posting where they are and what they are doing. And their are some CRAZIES out there.
That was pretty stupid of them. We've always been told not to publicize that information. That reaches way back to the answering machine when people would say they're out of town. It's a great big duh!
Stupid Twitters, leave it to the companies and businesses why don't you. Tell your real friends (if you have any) what's going on, but not spread it on the world wide web.
twitter can suck muh nuts
Been sayin this since everyone started posting their life+monthly plans/location of their plans via aim away message..
That's a creepy picture. Reminds me of Funny Games x
