As the new university and college year has kicked off, many are kegging up for the ‘freshers’ parties. Planning parties using social networks like Facebook and MySpace is becoming popular due to the sheer ease with which it’s possible to get invites out. But there is a dark side to this…
Considering the ‘open-ness’ of such networks, gatecrashing with the motive to steal is becoming widespread. Laptops, mobiles, iPods, Blackberrys, PSPs and other popular electronic wares make for easy picking whilst the owner is busy looking down into a bottle or passed out on a sofa.
It’s reported that a party organised on MySpace earlier this year cost an extra $40,000 as various items went missing the morning after.
