Burglary Ring Used Facebook Places To Find Targets

Kilrah_il writes "A burglary ring was caught in Nashua, NH due to the vigilance of an off-duty police officer. The group is credited with 50 acts of burglary, the targets chosen because they posted their absence from home on the Internet. '"Be careful of what you post on these social networking sites," said Capt. Ron Dickerson. "We know for a fact that some of these players, some of these criminals, were looking on these sites and identifying their targets through these social networking sites."' Well, I guess the prophecies came true."

    Wow, displacement behaviour much ?

    Someone makes an admittedly poor joke about guns and dick size, and you go off the fucking deep end. If you have some personal problems, then perhaps you shouldn't react so violently when someone raises the topic (even in jest), Pencil Pecker.

    In Soviet Russia, the Facebook tells you what your plans are!
