I'd be worried as well. Even if the criminals didn't remember where they got the package, now the video is going viral and it looks like the shows his home address on a map.

Edit: as someone pointed out it's not his address. I just re-watched the video and it's written on the map that it's not actually his house address.

I cannot believe I know this...but the location on the map is actually the McCallister's house from Home Alone, in Illinois, Mark lives in California.

I looked it up a few months ago...and I recognized the google map as soon as it popped up on the video.

He mentions that he used that address on the package too.

That's amazing. He goes through a lot of explaining how he used the address for the label and I thought it was weird that he was showing us where his house was on a map.
