The Dutch police force set-up two teams: - One team of people with experience in scouting houses, who were sent on the road to find targets - One team of IT experts wo were given the assignment to find targets via social media The results were that spotting houses in the more 'traditional' way was about 8 times more effective than through social media. Therefore there's a much bigger chance they spot it with traditional methods, i.e. twig against front door. So you have a much bigger chance of avoiding a break-ins by asking you neighbors to check your front door once a day (if you trust them..), than you do by not using leaky apps. Also, at an airport it's much more effective for a burglar to spot tickets and baggage lables, than it is to sit down and hope that somebody connects to their access point and opens a valuable insecure connection.
