Your action obviously caused concern to the lady members involved.
Perhaps it would have been wise to explain your motive in doing that and advise them how you did it, with a recommendation that they remove some info from their social networking pages.
Instead you mischievously let them worry about your motive.
Something which had never occured to me until a few years ago when my Dad died , I set up with the undertaker to put the details in the local paper about the funeral , when I asked him why there were no details of my Dads address , was told that they didn't do that anymore because the scum would know when the house would be empty and come and rob it during the time of the Funeral ..........animals 
Right, well I've asked Mick to deleted the "offending" thread (which he kindly has done) and I won't be enquiring about anybody's whereabouts again!
And I'm not getting into any arguments with Neil, in case he comes round and beats me up!

Burglars also used to ring homephone numbers to see if there was anything on the answering machine. Also they use junk emails to get back "out of office " messages and trace people back to their homes to see if they are on holiday.
It may all sound "daft" but burglars dont need to take risks of breaking in when you are there that much, they much prefer empty houses.

Don't worry about it , he thinks you live in Chicago or New Orleans. Besides you don't think anybody who tells people about using their names is really called Neil, he is actually a she, an old spinster called Agnes.
If you miss me one day Mr H I'll be chuffed to bits
It would be a shame if we stopped caring about asking about each other for fear of people getting to know about empty houses.
Is it not more caring to want your friends to come home to a safe house?
If you suspect someone may be ill then you can ask others you trust that might know via PM
my sentiments willow. i can see both arguments, but fer me people come before material things.
Agree.............I will be in England next week and my house will be empty.
All I have said on this forum is that my overlooks the med. I think it might be safe as I have not given a postcode and the med has one hell of a big coastline............Come in Benipete....you know where I live...but keep your gob shut.....por favour.
dont think thats a problem, they cant access profiles if not members? plus theres a lot of search engines i think.
Well I wouldn't know who to PM because I don't know who knows who that well enough personally. I'm with Cashy that people matter more than things. It's like do you break a door down if you think an elderly neighbour might be incapacitated inside.
We did that once and found the poor lady on the floor. She had tried to get to the door earlier in the day but fallen and the caller had gone away. We called and got no answer, knew she was frail and hardly likely to go out as she was so unsteady on her feet. Yes, I suppose she could have gone out with someone in their car and yes I suppose we could have asked the police to break in and waited for them to come but my late husband gave the back door a big shove and it opened (he broke the little thing the bar went into right out of the door frame!) We found her on the floor and quite disorientated, called an ambulance and got her to hospital. She was suffering from bruises and hypothermia. She didn't sue us for breaking the door down. In fact she thanked us and so did her daughter.
Sometimes it's just hard to know what to do for best but in future I will not ask where anyone is if they are absent from the forum if it could possibly lead to them being burgled.
