OT, but very important for the security of your home!

I have always taken you to be one of the more intelligent members on this site.

There are Private Message functions on this forum. If you have a problem that he bumped his thread and you want to tell him you don't appreciate it, better to tell him in PM or notify a moderator.

all Chicago was doing was making people aware of a potential problem and security issue. He shouldn't be given a hard time for that regardless of how you feel about him or what else he has done. He meant no harm, just provided information.


If you knew about this potential risk beforehand, then skip to the next thread.

I am personally glad he posted this because i had never heard of it before.

How many of you have ever heard of FLEXISPY? It is a security risk to your cell phone.

thanks Chicago.

thanks for bringing this to my attention Chicago206. I had heard about this technique in high school and had totally forgotten about it. Getting my safe from my Dad's house this weekend so I can store my best cards in it.

I used something similar to flexispy to catch my ex cheating on me. worked like a charm I must say

I disagree. A, he has a history. But B, the world is FILLED with useful information about life -- none of which should be posted on here unless it has a direct relationship to card collecting. What's next, a study on how glass windows can be broken so people can enter homes to steal baseball cards?

As far as I know Home Security has never been off topic for this forum considering many of us have these concerns as collectors of high dollar cards and memorabilia. I don't even think this is the first time this lock bumping technique has been discussed on Net54.

if you can post about stolen cards or collections , you should be able to post something like this that may prevent it from happening. just my opinion

How to secure collections is of course on topic. Wasn't saying it wasn't.

The foregoing kinda reminds me of one of Brad's Space Aliens Have Taken Control of Cable TV threads. And doesn't an OT post by Chicago belong in
the Department of Redundancy Department?

Looks like I'm part of the minority here but it seems to me that Chicago is getting piled on for no good reason. My guess is that if one of the regular and/or popular members posted this info he would have received many thanks from some of the same folks that are now mocking Chicago.

I know he has a "history" here but if you have an issue w/him just bypass his posts.
