Realistically, burglars prefer to rob houses where people aren't.

My guess is that very few burglars sit around scanning all of the (52 x 52 x 52 x 52 x 52 x 52) possibilities of Longitude.me directories (assuming they just use case sensitive letters), and then when they find one where there's a person (near them) THEN drive to that location and rob them.

If they're that hard pressed to rob a real-live person they could just go door-to-door until they found someone.

I can't back this up with research, however.

So you think that unless the location of a house has been posted on the internet, it is rendered invisible to all would-be burglars?
