If there is a link to your twitter messages that you weer out of town, I think the fact that your home address (a residential address anyway, I assume it’s your home address) is readily available by in the whois records for izzyvideo.com probably made the situation worse.

I’d recommend changing it.

Please, let us know when you’ll be out of town next time. And don’t forget to remind your address.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

LOOter King

I find it kind of unlikely that twitter was the cause of your robbery, but who knows. Anyway of tracking the MAC address?

Really sorry to hear about your loss and hopefully your important business data was backed up off site somewhere. That’s way more valuable than any hardware stolen and good reason to invest in a security system. Hopefully the press coverage will bring in some additional business and thanks for posting the lesson for your viewers to learn from.

[...] worse? He acts all surprised it happened on his website: Of course, the burglary may also be a random crime — which unfortunately is becoming more common [...]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Child behavior — Yes, everyone who watched my videos knows what my setup was. And many of them follow me on Twitter. It’s certainly a possibility.

That said, the news is making it sounds like an absolute connection, and the truth is we’ll never know unless they catch the person.

I followed iJustine for a while now and heard about this from her. Did they have any idea what kind of a set up you had at your place? Like did you ever twitter about it or blog about what you were using? Someone smart enough might put the 2 and 2 together and pull it off. I’m very cautious about what I twitter about. I even make sure my GF doesn’t twitter something too intrusive.

Intersting. I was on a business trip, tweeting away, and that thought did cross my mind. People now know I am not home. However, my mom & daughter were. We do have an alarm, but I think if people really want to steal, they will. Heck, that other fellow was asleep in his own bed!

Yes, we must be careful about what we say online…

…on the other hand I just tried real fast and found two people who were near me, on vacation, and posted their real names… which could probably be traced to a physical address without much trouble.
