If anyone out there knows more and wants to respond to this and set either or both of us straight, please do. The impression I have is that a journalist reports news. And the fact that someone has left their back door unlocked does not seem to me to be news. Reporting this information simply provides an invitation to steal, it is very likely that no good use will be made of the information. Regardless of the legality of reporting such information, the ethics of reporting it seem clear, don't they? bruce
