Echoing liz and ftp. There is a reason the funeral homes, at least around here, provide a house sitter with a company vehicle in the driveway, during the funeral service. Heck, even eleven years ago when my Mom died, a girlfriend stayed at my Dad'd house during the funeral. Crooks take advantage of all opportunities. If you watch the wedding announcements, you will see that more and more of them are either after the fact, or simply state thwt the wedding to take place at a future date.
Be careful with that info Lookie.
That is so awful that people would do that. Whenever I think I've seen and heard everything.....[:o]
descrite, you may assess the risk as low. Living where I do, I do not. You are entitled to assume whatever risks you would like in your own life. The OP asked for advice, and I gave him my thoughts. If he is comfortable putting an ad like this out there, that is his business, agreed, but I see nothing wrong with those of us who see certain risks pointing them out.
Again, before seeing yourdarkdesire's post, I would have never imagined that thieves targeting families who are involved in funerals or weddings. But the very fact that funeral homes provide such a service strikes me as indicative of the level of risk involved even though I've never even heard of something like this. I would be careful about assuming that just because you haven't heard of something that it means a) it doesn't happen or b) it doesn't happen very often.
The OP's ad as written strikes me as one that could attract a certain range of either dangerous types, or types that are insincere. And if he chooses to keep the ad as written, he will just have to try to find other ways to screen. Lots of different ways to manage even small risks. But to behave as if the risks are nonexistent seems not wise.
