Burglary Ring Uses 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 burglaries, 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.
