Faceburglary
Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Facebook burglary happens to be pretty common these days. It's really not hard to figure out way either. If you post a status saying, "Aruba for the next 7 days!!" what do you think is going to happen? Your personal network of 1,987 friends is going to be super excited for you? I think not. It's more likely that at least 1 of the 1,987 people that don't really know you is now thinking that your house is a great target for a burglary. You may as well post a note on your front door saying, "Rob me please!"
Unfortunately for the couple in the video, their house was burglarized due to a status they posted on Facebook saying they would be out for the evening seeing a concert. I get it, concerts are exciting, but maybe you don't need to tell the whole world you are going.
On a different note, I can't actually believe that almost everyday there is a clip about Facebook on all of the popular news networks. Is that weird or no?
