The risks of information sharing?

[Steven Bellovin]

My daughter sent me the following note:

  There's some discussion on the cycling list I'm on about whether bike
  thieves are looking at Strava, a site that lets people compare routes
  they've ridden, to target nice bikes.  Apparently, people's profiles show
  the bikes they've ridden on which rides, and given the ride data, you can
  make a pretty good guess about where their bikes are stored...

There's no hard evidence that this is the thieves' MO, but a lot of people
are speculating and wondering.
