Those of us who blog here realize that there is a slim chance an acquaintance may identify us.
Since we moved to Austin in October, I have heard of 2 kidnappings that appeared to be financially motivated (for ransom), and we are not talking about multimillionaires, but just regular folks who may have had a bit of money. One was a little boy who was snatched as his mother was getting him in to the car to take him to school ... Thank God for Amber Alerts (he was found safe later the same day). The news mentioned that such kidnappings are common in Mexico, and this particular type of crime may have moved across the border.
Especially for those of us who live in border states, that alone is enough not to make us not want to disclose specific fianancial information to a bunch of strangers.
Take care all.
