Facebook pic of grandma's cash stash attracts thieves

5/28/2012

Be careful if you're one of those people who posts a pic of everything you do on the internet. A 17-year-old Australian girl snapped a photo of her grandmother's life savings as the pair counted the cash in their home and posted it to Facebook. Later that night, a pair of armed men allegedly showed up at the girl's mother's house, wanting to have a talk about the money. Mom told the men the daughter didn't live with her, but they reportedly searched the house anyway and made off with a small amount of money. Police warned people to be careful about what they post on social networks. Smart idea.
