Then these burglars can find your house stake it out and be sure nobody else is home, the neighbor is not a cop, there is no Rottweiler on the loose. Odds, about zero.
So....zero to the 4th power , zero odds.
Good grief - it was a small error that means nought.
Wow. A bit harsh.
Actually, I'd generally agree -- it's very unlikely that a human will read the email. However, there are 2 million and change americans in jail, nearly 1% of the population. I don't know what percentage of criminals are in jail (we dont catch them all), and what percentage get email on the inside or outside, but I'd guess that means maybe 1% of the population is both on the net and up to some variety of no good. Total guess on the final % of course.
The point is, in this very group, we're all anonymous. I don't see anybody
here posting their real name, city of origin, and dates they'll be far away. The OP didn't even tell
us his real name or the city. It's why you stop delivery of the paper and the mail when your'e away -- you don't want it advertised.
