RootsBooster Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm afraid that the evidence, according to various police forces including the Met, and surveys conducted on burglars suggests that you are wrong.

RootsBooster Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'm afraid that the evidence, according to various police forces including the Met, and surveys conducted on burglars suggests that you are wrong. I suppose it depends on what they class as a burglary. If someone sees a phone on a windowsill with an open window and takes it and that is classed as burglary, then yes I guess the majority of burglaries are opportunist crimes.

walkertelecoms Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The majority of burglars are using social media websites to help target victims and plan their crimes, a survey suggests. http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16077087 Were the original concerns correct and should street view now be banned? The survey suggests ???? Who did they survey, the burglar? Just another excuse to scare monger and put a black spot on a very professionally useful service. I use the little orange google man on a regular basis to check out customers I'm about to visit, to see where their telephone service is provided from (ground or pole) and generally how big the place is before I quote. Can also check out parking availability too Quote: Originally Posted by RootsBooster Actually, there's another thing about Facebook. Photographic information.

Day 1: Cat asleep at bottom of stairs next to some shoes and a hand bag. Day 2: Cat on his back pawing at a toy dangling above him, he's next to a scarf, some shoes and a handbag. Day 3: Cat with head inside one of lucy's boots, he's knocked the other boot over. The handbag is there also knocked over. Car keys are clearly visible inside the bag. The previous month, Lucy was posting about how much she loves her brand new Mercedes SLK, putting photos of that up too. your mate lucy sounds like an idiot LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quisquose Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Kind of an obvious point to make, but... This analogy (FB talk = pub talk) is eminently right BUT, on FB/social sites, it stays written there for however many to see, for a long time. Never ceases to amaze me, how dim people can be with reference to this particular issue. The case of Paul Chambers makes this point only too well.
