0.0 You can post an image of my dog if you happen to photograph it from a
public vantage point. Your comparison however is a little wrong. And
actionable.

The equestrian community does a fine job of providing that
intelligence in far more up to date manner than Geograph. Let's take
the House and Hound forum, because I'm an avid reader now. Check the
classifieds section. I chose a horse a random, got a phone number in
Bedfordshire. Googled it, found the address. Checked aerial photo of
house on Google Maps. Checked prices of recent house sales on that
street at houseprices.co.uk - seemed an affluent area. Also got
another google result with the full name and email address of the
owner, with partial photograph and other useful info. From that I got
his approximate age and the names of his wife and other house
occupants from the electoral roll.
Sadly no picture on Geograph but more than enough information for a
little social engineering.
I know I've no chance of winning you over here, but I'm trying to
illustrate that rather more intelligence is out there than you might
imagine, and I would bet that a well motivated criminal gang has even
more sources at their disposal.

Just got that off him. Does he know all owners dont keep horses at their house?
