Honestly this is good advice tho. Wait until you've returned to post all of your vacation pics.

Can also post pictures of you on vacation when you're not. See who shows up the house.

Hm...

What if I post about going on vacation but what I'm really doing is setting up an elaborate system of Home Alone style traps? 🤔

It is a decent cyber security trick.

That geoguesser guy in YouTube made a point to say this while pinpointing the exact location (down to the same table) of a photo a fan sent him while on vacation

still relevant

My mom use to say watch out putting a loved one in the obituaries because people will rob your house knowing you’ll be gone that morning.

You guys got to go on holidays?

Well besides the fact that AOL didn't work that way, I've never been "on holiday" in my life.

Sounds smart. Most burglaries happen by people you know.

hmmm, my family couldn't afford vacations. when we visited family out of state we'd always have someone house sit to take care of the animals. usually a neighbor.

being the youngest boy and the biggest lover of animals, i became the default to do that for out neighbors when they were out.

it was a lovely little neighborhood.

but also, back then social media was young and pretty much only young people were on it. for my parents to give me advice about what to put on my blogspot or Facebook would have made me guffaw. hell, correctly identifying the platform and that one could share vacation plans on it would have been a big ask.

Mine still do, I still post.

This is really good advice. Your mom sounds smart.
