Awesome.

Yeah, I feel pretty bad for whoever tries to rob me some day. They'll get mauled by German Shepherds trained in protection, and then i'll make my way down to finish the job with a Mossberg 500 tactical.

I don't understand what the point of that website is. If it's not, and never has been, to get people burglarized, WTF is the point? People just tweeting that they're at different places other than home? Who freakin cares?

Yeah it's a site that compiles twitter results with when the occupants aren't home, broadcasting the idiocy of people that use twitter.

Right, because the robbers driving around your neighborhood in a big windowless van with ski masks on are TOTALLY looking up each address because every home owner has a sign on their mailbox with their fucking twitter username on it, right?

If thieves are going to great lengths to find out information about you before robbing you blind like using teh intartubes, they aren't going to need to know or read your fucking twitter page to know when you're not home.

It's not just about people robbing other people, it's about the idiocy of people broadcasting their whereabouts 24/7.

Anyways, as a person that has been robbed through a pretty sophisticated method, don't undersestimate what thieves will do if they want to steal your shit.

My point ------ >

Your head ----->

My point was that, if the thieves are just going to pick an empty house and smash-and-grab, they don't need twitter to do it so this website is retarded and useless. If the thieves are going to do some homework on you, find out who you are, where you work, when you're home and not, a stupid twitter page isn't going to make one bit of difference so this website is retarded and useless. It's like the website was based on a fleeting "oh no, what if..." thought that really wasn't thought about much beyond that.

 

[shortylickens]

Yeah I always thought that telling people where you are and who you're with (or not with) makes you a great target for burglery, pick-pocketing, mugging, rape, murder and other assorted festivities.

Twitter is fucking stupid.

Dude, it's not hard for them to stay mobile and near several neighborhoods. Or for them to identify people whom are at places where they'll likely be for a good chunk of time. Say, a movie theater ("about to watch Avatards!") or the opera ("time for Mozart's shitty german opera, Der Poopschutez!").

It IS potentially dangerous. It's not completely trivial.

Okay. Let's say they've got a laptop, a wireless connection, and are driving around a neighborhood.

How do you find out whether the guy who lives at the house on the left who's getting into his car even has a twitter account? How do you find his username?

Really? Are you not thinking this through?

If you can basically pick a house at random and start compiling information about them trying to decide when to strike, you're NOT just a common smash-and-grab thief who'll kick the door in the moment the owner turns the corner on their way out of the neighborhood.

If you ARE that type, you don't really need to read their twitter page, do you? Of course you don't, you're already kicking in their front door.

If you're the type that sits in the car across the street with your laptop doing your homework on the guy, and you're resourceful enough to find out who lives there (not hard), how are you going to find their twitter username? If you're smart enough (or lucky enough) to come across that, what are the odds that reading their twitter page is going to make any sort of difference in when you're going to strike and how? You're probably smart enough to have that figured out anyway.

 

[crownjules]

I can't believe in this day and age that you are seriously arguing that computer and internet savvy people couldn't use this information against you. Is it likely? Maybe not. But it only takes one case to prove their point.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

This would be a good way to test out firearms.

@twitter I'm going away for a long trip. I hope no one steals my priceless van gogh paintings. ROFLOPTER I hope no one realizes I have a key hidden in the fake rock hidden under my doormat.

And then you just wait and hide behind the sofa with your shotgun.

 

[Lamont Burns]

I don't use twitter, can I not use my phone for this service... or do I need a laptop with a wireless connection.

You're a fucking idiot. I'm not arguing that at all. I'm arguing that a computer savvy person wouldn't bother with twitter. It's like a bank robber packing C4 to blow open the bank vault and packing a tire iron as a backup method of vault cracking.

I'm not sure why you're so fervent about theives never using this, but you're thinking about it backwards. The thief starts on the internet, where as this website shows, you can get someone's address as well as their whereabouts together at the same time. With this, you can find an empty house. The only missing piece of information is if they live alone, which very well could be talked about in their Twitter or other online networking profile.

So your talking about Twitter profiles being on mailboxes is nonsense.

You also seem to characterize theives as cavemen, whose chances of using technology are very small. It isn't that hard to get a mobile connection (they could just have an iphone) and for a theif, the investment would be well worth it. If I were a theif, this is how I would operate, but of course like most people I'm not interested in robbing anything.

This is still missing the point.

Got a job? I bet you're not at home at 1 pm. I might be wrong, but most of the time I'll be right, and I didn't need twitter to tell me so.

I can also simply go to a restaurant. None of those people are home either. Again, didn't need the internet to tell me that.
