No slight intended, but DUH! The same common sense that we rely on in the offline world should tell us that our online comments require discretion as well...
Most times I give bad travel updates. Like "Headed to Austin" after I have already returned. Don't get caught slipping!
Posting pics of trip AFTER you return is the best option. Social Media has introduced a way for the super-egotistical to brag to hundreds at a time about big purchases and vacations. Unfortunately, these people aren't stopping to think about the consequences of 'telling all'. Perhaps more stories like this will alert those who haven't caught on yet. I didn't think I'd have to warn my social media clients about this, but I do - just in case!
This might be a story -- except, of course, that the robbery could be a complete coincidence. Robberies are often quite random. In this case, I'm sure we'll never know.
Your advice, though, is sound. I often tweet when *I'm* on the road for business, but not if it's a family trip and we're all out of town.
