She thought she posted a suitcase. She posted a start date. The comments handed over the end date. Twenty habits do this — and she's done six of them this month. One of them isn't even her own post. That one is Number 5, and it involves the one day nobody on earth is thinking about doors. Officer Penny has spent a long time around property crime and the people it happens to. She expected the question to always be about locks. It almost never was. The question underneath was always the same one: how did they know I wasn't home? Nobody was watching. Somebody was reading. In this video, you'll learn: ✅ Why "Home safe" are the two worst words to post after a trip ✅ The Venmo setting that's publicly broadcasting your kennel, your house sitter, and the exact dates ✅ Why the obituary is the most dangerous post in this entire video — and what Kentucky, Washington, and Massachusetts police have documented happening during services ✅ The one Facebook tool that converts a decade of travel posts to friends-only in about 15 seconds ✅ What "Bingo at one, volunteer shift Wednesday" tells a stranger about an ordinary Tuesday afternoon ✅ The #1 protection that has nothing to do with your privacy settings None of this requires giving up your trips, your celebrations, or the people you love sharing them with — just understanding that a post about a suitcase is not a post about a suitcase. 📌 Do three things tonight: set your Venmo to private and go back through old transactions, run Facebook's "limit past posts," and turn on tag review so nothing attaches to your name without your say-so. 👍 Like this if it made you look at your last ten posts differently 🔔 Subscribe — there's more of this coming 📤 Send it to somebody you love who posts her trips — do it before she books the next one 💬 Which one on this list surprised you most?
