I was thinking of magazines that list the home town of the author (I think MR does this?). If your name isn't "John Smith", that gives someone a halfway decent chance of finding where you live. In the case of folks with stuff that is valuable and can be re-sold of fenced for decent coin, that's almost as bad as posting where you are and how much cool expensive stuff you have.
I think there is a major difference between YouTube videos and physically having people in your home.
Agreed. You don't have to post anywhere what your real name or location is.
Heck, I've had people see my layout's website or saw the article I wrote this year and emailed me (either from my site or through the editor) and ask to come see it, thinking that a layout which takes place in Tennessee must also be physically located there. I've had to let them down, saying that I'm nowhere near that part of the country (I wish I was, though) but not telling them exactly where I am. In those cases, those are likely honest hobbyists wanting to see it in person.
But all that said, if you post here or anywhere online, I suspect if the motivation is there, someone would be able to find where your toys are, regardless.
