so i was looking at cars on craigslist.. and i realised some cars, not all but some have maps off to the side, and if you zoom in on that shit it pretty much shows you what street the pic was taken on.. that had me thinking, maybe people havent noticed the map but that when they post their cars up for sale your pretty much showing theives where the car is located.. so warning if you havent noticed the maps when posting your cars(i never noticed it)maybe you can shut it off or take the pic not at your house.. tired of seeing cars get stolen.

Well I didn't know it was optional but there are a bunch of dumbasses on Clist then cause I seen a few mustang with that map shit.. that's what made me all in the first place, thought it was a horrible idea and basically an invite to thieves.

Ya I never paid attention to it either so I wasn't sure how many other people missed it too, just trying to help some people out if I could.. but u zoom in and it at least shows u the cross streets, I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for even the biggest retard thieves to figure out.

Thats a very stupid feature that completely invades peoples privacy. They need to take that down.
