Don't tell the world you are traveling over the holidays!

Have you read something like this post on Facebook? 
"Jamaica bound! See you all in 7 days #HoneyMoon  🇯🇲🍻🍴"

Holidays and vacations provide fun times with family and friends that are worth sharing with others, but doing so on Facebook or other social media is not a good idea until you return home.

Social media has made it easy for you to share your activities with others but if you are out-of-town, it also alerts others to your empty house making it an easy target for break-ins.

Even if you have your Privacy settings set to "Friends", how do you know that they won't share with their Friends?  Are all of their Friends trustworthy?  This may seem a bit far-fetched but burglars use the information shared on Facebook every single day and the numbers are increasing.

Be safe this holiday season: feel free to share memories and photos AFTER you return home.
