Giving A House Tour Online Is A GREAT Way To Get Robbed
Summary
House tour content is a robbery invitation, according to a straphanger who's clearly thought this through. She cites The Bling Ring as proof nobody learned their lesson. Kareem agrees, though he carves out one exception: Lenny Kravitz's Architectural Digest tour works because "he has cowboys" protecting his Brazil ranch. No one's robbing a man with cowboys. The rider watches house tours but refuses to post her own, partly for security and partly because people would judge what's inside. West Village girlies lack such protection.

So what's your take? House tours as a form of content are a really good way to get robbed. 100% agree. Can—how much do you pay for rent and can I come over with my phone?
Yeah, I think that Bling Ring was like a warning and we didn't listen. We didn't listen. We said, "Yeah, come on in and take pictures of everything in my house." Yeah, I think the one exception to this is Lenny Kravitz's Architectural Digest tour with his cowboys in Brazil, right? 'Cause he—he like daps up his cowboys on his ranch and that—like, we could have ended it there. Also, no one's going to rob Lenny Kravitz 'cause he has cowboys. 'Cause he has cowboys. The protectors of the land. But the West Village girlies don't have security.
Would you ever do a house tour? No, I don't want to get robbed.
Do you watch them? I watch them, but I—I don't. I've never shown photos of my house.
What's in there? Uh, you guys would judge my house if you saw it, which is why I'm not showing it. Tour house tour house. T—no chance. Chance.
