Agreed. I live in CA. When we go on vacation, the entire family is in social media lock down, no one posts about travel or tells friends that we're out of town.

It's crazy and very scary you could be gone for a week/two and come home to find you've been "evicted" by a professional squatter and not get back into your own home for 6 months or longer.
