It may not be a good idea to have members locate themselves by actual house or Street location. Not all users of this forum will be honest and if they happened to find out where a particular car was kept or if there were some nice parts for sale somewhere, the temptation might be too much to resist.

Maybe there should be a warning or pop up before adding location to alert members who might not have thought of that. Otherwise add your location by the first half of your postcode or by the town centre of the town you are in just to add a bit of vagueness as to where you actually keep your pride and joy!

Plenty of stories around of users of strava having their bikes stolen because thieves were getting the information for bike route stop/start points at people's houses and matching up to profiles which would list the type of bike used.

Agree with that, I just put town for me :)
