Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I don't publicly share my 'good stuff' for the reason of theft concern. I've been through a home invasion once, would rather be a little cautious and reduce the odds of another one.

It's extremely easy to track down someone's home address when you've got a name, or a username/email/identifier that is easily tracked online to their name.

I ain't exactly hard to track down either if someone really wanted too, and tons of people in the hobby have my name and address and more, but it's a primary reason I don't 1) publicly post my name, 2) post information that can easily be used to associate me with someone with a web search, and 3) don't share expensive items almost at all. Publicly, I share interesting items or obscurities that may help research and understanding and cheap cards I enjoy regardless of value. Sharing ones name, address, and images of possessions worth fortunes on the open internet that anyone at any time and anywhere can see seems an unnecessary risk with absolutely no benefit.
