Then there's that story from a few weeks ago of a teenager posting pictures on Facebook of all the money the parents had. Within minutes, they were robbed.

Well if the sheep rancher next door is going to keep parading
his sheep around in front of the wolves I'm sure not going to complain
about him keeping my cows safe.

Not so much milk, either.  But they make great paper weights--if you have really big sheets of paper.

I have often wondered if listing all of your gear and computers on forums like this is a good idea. I was thinking of starting a thread about this but I'll just sneak this in here.

There are always different ways of looking at something.

Those people spilling information may have known exactly what they were doing.
Imagine having a house full of junk...insured junk...worth more making a claim than
having possession. Equipment that doesn't even work...."honey we'd come out ahead if somebody ripped us off".."you're right dear....hey! I got an idea!"..."let's let everybody know we're taking a trip and just pretent we're stupid!".

I was going to use sick sheep for the example...some states even have three times
the market value on livestock.

Shouldn't be a problem unless you're foolish enough to post your home address - "I'm here, come get me", type of thing.

Or you have a house with readily recognizable attributes like Bapu's does.  You know, a nice house in Thousand Oaks that has steps with freshly painted iron rails, and a guy with moobs filming fornacating squirrels out in his front yard...
