Police have seen criminals using Google Maps after they are arrested for prospective burglaries, or after completing one successfully.

Ex-NYPD detective Pat Brosnan said that prospective sellers can protect themselves by limiting what they include in their online home profiles.

Former FBI agent and cybersecurity professional Bill Daly advised those selling their homes to make sure that valuable furniture or artwork is stashed away before taking photos for a real estate listing.

A Google spokesperson said it generally takes their team about a week to blur out an address after a request.

A Zillow representative said their service makes it "quick and easy" to take ownership of home listings.

Brosnan said it is also important to limit what you post online about your own whereabouts.
