Users of sites like Twitter and Foursquare will be all-too-familiar with seeing messages from friends broadcasting their current location and - through implication - that they're not at home.

A new website called Please Rob Me mashes together content from Foursquare and Twitter, providing an easy way for potential burglars and stalkers to find out where you are supping your cappuccino, and when you may have left your home empty.



Whilst this may "work" i can't see that just because one member of the house is down the road, it in any way means the house is empty and doesn't contain other people or a bloody great big dog....

Also seems like a lot of work to burgle one house when AFAIK most burglaries and "by chance".

Still does raise the question is too much personal info is given out too easily these days...
