People don't get it.

That is so sad, especially as it could even be her "friends" who did it.

The daughter probably had no idea how she was exposing their home to thieves.

Less Facebook would go a long way.

Good luck and success.

Yikes!  Too bad that a simple click of a keystroke could have caused such drama.  Social media is great when used properly!

Not sure how to make that happen. There are adults who don't seem to understand that either. I only post about vacation AFTER we're back in town!

William Feela - I do not understand why we need to make this known to all!

Hi Bill... you are singing my song! I've been singing it a very long time and just don't get why so many people miss the basic common sense of not announcing they are not home (even for one evening) to the world at large.

Good morning William.  I just don't understand why everyone in the world needs to know where I am via Facebook or Twitter.

Good morning William.  My wife does this all the time.  I keep telling her however, she doesn't listen.  One of these days after the fact it may get her attention.  We'll see

Good morning William,

It is disturbing hom much info may be found on the different social web sites!

Mae yourself an astonishing day.

It saounds like the parents took the right action on the daughter assumng that if they had all these safeguards in place that the child would have konwn to keep quiet.

Good morning Bill. I think you are right and this is sad and scary too.

That is very sad and it is unfortunate that we can't share our lives with people on such places like Facebook, without having to worry about being robbed while we are gone.

William, On a daily basis I see well meaning adults posting their vacation pics on Facebook. My wife does not allow me to post until we get back. 

Hi William, this is such a shame.  I am not a fan of FB but use it to begrudgingly. Hopefully the young girl will see that the world does not stop. 

Good morning, William!

We all must be careful with what we share on social media posts.  Some things that we share may lead to unwanted results.  

Great post!

William, I particpate in a few local Facebook groups and I can't count the number of times adults have broadcast to the entire group/world the exact dates they're going to be out of town for something.  Since we're a public record state, it would be easy enough to figure out where they live.  You just never know what type of person is lurking in a Facebook group collecting info for later use.  Bill
