The fact that burglars are using media resources like Facebook and Twitter is a big wake up call for many people. I personally am not surprised, because it can be easy to find out if someone is on vacation or not. These websites are appealing to burglars because people often update their Facebook status saying, “Beach!” or “Finally gone.” Some Facebook users even use the check-in tool on Facebook. This tells people exactly where others are. Although it’s useful seeing where your friends are, it can be very dangerous. Facts show that around 78% of burglars are known to use these media sites. This should teach a very important lesson. It is ok to tell people that you went on vacation, but wait until you get back from your trip! Watch what you put on Facebook, and make sure you have privacy settings, because you never know who is watching you!
