Sheriff Warns About Posting Holiday Travel Plans Online

SHARE NOW

The holidays are here, and Logan County Sheriff Randy Dodds reminds residents to be cautious about what they share on social media.

Sheriff Randy Dodds explains that posting about being away from home or going out of town can make your home an easy target for thieves:

By sharing your travel plans online, you are essentially letting others know that your home is empty, increasing the risk of a break-in.

Dodds advises waiting until you return home to post about your trip.

He also urges everyone to ensure their privacy settings are on to avoid making posts visible to the public.
