Please use common sense

One of the things I appreciate about Snipershide is the high trust I have in general for its members.

We must maintain common sense situational awareness! Recently I was having a private conversation with a member here. I am in the process of shipping him something. We are both trying to iron out logistics and with all the best of intentions they provided a physical address and then shared that they would be out of town for an extended period of time with no one at the residence to receive a package. Reminds me of the folks who announce to the world on Facebook that they are on vacation, which means there is most likely no one at home!

1st layer of security is unpredictability and not sharing detailed info about what you have, where it is and when it’s unattended. Any photos on the net that provide any of that info are fair game once you post you loose control of who might repost share or copy that image.

Common sense isn’t so common anymore!

I had a deal like that awhile ago. Buyer stated he would be out of town for a few weeks and to ship the item later when he was home but he paid for it right away.

I can't recall if he had sent me his address at that point or when he was home though. Like Browerka said, it isn't so common anymore!

Excellent advice. It's pretty easy to get too comfortable with people we barely know.

This was absolutely shared with the intent of a public service reminder, not bashing or trying to embarrass anyone

Common sense isn't.

This is one of the reasons why everything I order, from members here, from Amazon, from people selling rocks, gets sent to my work. Someone’s always there to sign for it whether I’m on vacation or not. I’ve even had guns from CMP delivered directly to my office. When they arrive, I quietly set them under my desk till quitting time.

You're lucky. I do not work at a facility that would be even remotely accommodating of receiving anything personal, let alone ammunition, firearms, or shooting related items. Granted, I have to pass through a metal detector, hand geometry scanner, and bomb sniffer to get to my work station.
