Anyone who posts their personal details is NUTS!
I have live posts at the moment with just general details regarding the locality and keep my real (rather normal) name and address for the safety of the PM system.
Nowadays everybody has access to the web, thieves and ... [ADMIN EDIT HERE]
A friend of my mothers, posted her 3 pc suite, along with her details and suitable calling times. She had late evening unannounced visits to her home, when she was on her own, two gentlemen of unscrupulous character, who talked their way into her home and wandered about to see what else she might be able to give away! One kept her talking about the suite whilst the other pretending to go to the loo, wandered through her home. She felt threatened and intimidated. Rather than learning from her experience (of posting her details) and once she rid her home of these vermin she ended up bringing her items to the dump. What a waste!
