Who says anything about thieves just monitoring one web site? Someone that knows how to use the internet can find any info they want about anyone. The wife's nephew, who lives in Arizona, without knowing anything other than her name, was able to find her address, phone number, social security number, driver's license number and where she worked in less than 15 minutes. Someone with foul play in mind can find even more since they know were to look to get that kind of information WITHOUT monitoring one particular web site.

I'd be willing to bet the Puget Sound basin has more crime than SJ or Sac does as well, hence my not posting my travel plans on the internet. I know for a fact that members of my hydroplane racing club, R/C Unlimiteds, have had boats stolen from their garages. The club trailer was also broken into with several items taken, some fairly expensive. I also know of a business owner that had her 8X16 cargo trailer stolen right out of her shop's parking lot fully loaded with merchandise. Her loss was well over $100,000 from the merchandise alone. Another business, in this case a BBQ restaurant, was put out of business when all the meat was stolen out of the smoker during the night, not once but twice. The owner couldn't afford to keep replacing several thousand dollars in pork, chicken and beef. The worst part of this is that all of these thefts happened within 25 miles of my residence. Kind of makes you think twice about posting where you're going and when.
One thing that your last post has me wondering is, if you're so bothered by what Franklin says or does, why haven't YOU deleted YOUR accounts so you won't be tempted to read his posts? You've already said you spend a lot of time flying your large pattern planes and flying in competition, something that has to take a lot of practice to be good at. Seems to me your time would be better spent honing your skills with the twin sticks than bashing your finger tips on the keys of a keyboard to complain about what others are or are not doing
