Celebrity tweeters leaving themselves open to burglary Assistant Chief Constable Gareth Morgan, spokesman on burglary for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said: "Social networking has become a part of everyday life. Unfortunately there are some individuals who use it as a means of gathering information to commit crime. Users of social networking sites need to be aware of this and use caution when telling people where they are, or posting messages about valuables on their possession or in their homes. Simple precautions can avoid putting yourself and your home at risk. A survey carried out by burglar alarm company ADT found worrying levels of personal information being posted about the movements of wealthy celebrities. They include Jessie J who regularly announces her travel plans, location and pictures of her valuables on Twitter. On June 25 she tweeted "Wow what an amazing welcome to Malta at the airport! It's so beautiful and hot and my heartbeats here. In May the singer told her six and a half million followers: "Off the plane straight to production rehearsals for 4 hours." She also tweeted: "I am not going to be in Birmingham for long. We are getting a jet from the airport, and we are already an hour late. Earlier this year former England football Michael Owen tweeted: "Holiday time! Portugal here we come. On another occasion he said: "Just boarded the plane. Dubai and back in 34 hours. Back in time for my daughters sports day Wednesday lunch time! ADT spokesman Mark Shaw said: "People are fascinated by celebrities and Twitter has become the means by which many stars give their fans an insight into their lives. But we were quite shocked by the type of information many famous people were putting out there. Revealing details of their movements, what they are doing and things they have bought would be risky for an ordinary person. For a celebrity with sometimes millions of followers it is a huge lapse of judgment - and for some could end up with serious consequences. He added: "The warnings to the rich and famous apply just as much to ordinary people who might be putting too much personal information on social networking sites. These days we all want our friends and followers to share in our day-to-day life, particularly the good times. But you could end up regretting being so open if you don't think before you post.
