Why You Should NEVER Post on Facebook Before You Travel (Burglars are Watching)

Somewhere on your street tonight, a man is scrolling Facebook the way you do before bed. He isn't hacking anything. He's reading ordinary posts from ordinary people, and working out which houses will be empty and when. I gave the Marine Corps twenty years learning how a position gives itself away, and your page is no different. You will learn why the countdown post is a calendar published in advance, what that barcode on your boarding pass photo actually carries, the neighborly favor post that tells a stranger your exact dates and hands him a way in, the detail sitting on your profile right now that lets somebody call your bank and sound like you, and the one setting almost nobody has ever checked. Every fix is free, and most take about a minute. You do not have to quit Facebook. Tell me in the comments whether you have ever posted a trip while you were still on it. Be honest, most of us have. #homesecurity #travelsafety #burglaryprevention #onlinesafety #seniorsafety #preparedness #veteran
