Well many will take their photo with a smartphone which will embed the GPS data in it (visible in the EXIF), which is great when YOU want to know where the photo was taken but NOT when you don't want people to know where you live WITH that expensive watch.

So be VERY VERY careful when you are sharing ANY photo from a smartphone as it can easily tell everyone where you live with your nice expense item, be that a watch car or more especially some of the more expensive items on here!

You can export photos removing geo-location data fairly easily but please everyone make sure you do this before you post on a forum as its really easy to give a thief your location if you don't and they DO look for watch threads, high end cars and more to find out where its easy to steal them.

BEWARE!!
Pretty sure if you use the attachment feature on this forum the EXIF data gets erased. But, yeah, if you hotlink from another site that is certainly possible.
