You forgot the "I likely have a gun in here you can steal" sticker. Save those for your gun cases folks.
This is brilliant
I don’t think this is cool. I think it’s fear-mongering silliness. Everything on this guide is designed to make middle class people afraid of the nebulous, dangerous prowler who… cases parking lots and freeways for people to rob? What?
Most burglaries are opportunistic, and most burglars aren’t Sherlock Holmes style deducing facts about their targets lives from their bumper stickers. This guide just helps folks feel more paranoid.
Also, Richland is the worst of the Tri-Cities.
Robberies are opportunistic, but broadcasting a lot of useful information about yourself can present such an opportunity, singling you out as an attractive target to a robber who otherwise would have been unaware of you.
In other words, you don’t have to outrun the lion, just the antelopes straggling at the edge of the herd. Announcing a lot of facts about your probable lifestyle puts you closer to the lion.
OpSec, y'all. OpSec.
People effectively do this directly on social media too.
This is where i live, look at all my cool stuff. I'm in espagna for the next two weeks. Social media is for weirdos.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
