I know there have been at least two instances of posters on The Purse Forum being robbed after posting details about their collections and houses (one of them even put up partial floor plans!).

It's very easy to let your guard down when you interact with people on a daily basis online but you never know who's reading what you post with nefarious intents. I constantly see guy friends on FB who have their entire address, including unit number, listed in their profile and the profile is unlocked! I keep waiting for posts that say their condo was cleaned out while on vacation. I use a different ID on each forum/social media site so if someone has a grudge on one then it doesn't get to carryover to another one. Again this could just be me being paranoid but better that than the psycho ex showing up at one of my kickball games just to say 'Hi' or a company I gave a negative review to finding out where I work.

The Theresa Roemer story just got weirder...turns out the burglar got pissed that many of the items robbed were knock-offs, and mailed a few to the Houston Chronicle as proof.

On August 12th, the Houston Chronicle received an anonymous call from a man (who went so far as to modulate his voice!) claiming to be the burglar of the closet and calling from a burner phone with a New York area code. The man revealed that the items he stole from Roemer’s closet are FAKE and that he tried to extort $500K from her to keep quiet about it (again–EW! who is this creep??). The deal fell through though, because she (understandably) called the cops, and so he decided to make good on his threat to “expose her” to the media. The dude then MAILED the Houston Chronicle a small sampling of the stolen items–a bracelet, watch and a locket containing the hair of Roemer’s deceased son–to prove that they were in fact “worthless.”

LOL So what if the items in her closet were fake. The fact is she never said everything was real and the items that were real (like certain red sole heels) weren't taken. His own fault for not knowing what to look for.

Too bad they didn't use the extortion attempt to set up a sting and catch the creep.
