A private investigator has shared the most common mistake women make to expose themselves to predators based on years of sleuthing.<br /><br />Jade Savage, 27, has been a licensed private investigator for six years, which means she has tried and tested ways of successfully snooping on behalf of her clients.<br /><br />She's sharing them so women can see the ways they expose themselves to potential predators.<br /><br />Among the most common dangerous thing she says she sees people do is tagging locations in social media posts which they visit every day - like their gym.<br /><br />She said this "literally leaves a footprint" for stalkers and predators to follow.<br /><br />Savvy Jade from Arizona, USA, said other common mistakes - which she is able to exploit when she works - is people leaving their curtains and blinds open all day and night.<br /><br />This allows her and others to "see everything" - including what people are watching on TV or eating for dinner.<br /><br />Jade said she very often sees people tagging locations on social media posts which they visit very frequently - revealing their detailed daily or weekly locations.<br /><br />She said: "Don't post where you are online - you're literally leaving a footprint for people to find you.<br /><br />"If you want to post where you are, wait until after you've left to post it. <br /><br />"You'd be amazed to see how many people I find because they do this.<br /><br />"If someone tags the gym that they go to, it's so dangerous - a predator would know where to find you five days a week.<br /><br />"Same thing goes for posting where you work or your child's school. As a private investigator if I don't know your home address, you've just given me, or a predator, the next place to find you.<br /><br />"I had a client who had someone show up to her child's football game because they knew what school it was.<br /><br />"I'm always shocked at how many people keep their blinds open as well.<br /><br />"It's highly illegal to film someone in their home, but if you keep your blinds open in the evening you can literally see everything - what you're watching on TV, and what you're eating.<br /><br />She took to TikTok to share her advice with her over 100,000 followers, and make sure 'women and children keep themselves safe'.<br /><br />Jade comes from a family of private investigators, which began when her mother tracked down her biological father and her 32 long-lost siblings.<br /><br />The tips she shared are based on the ways she herself tracks down someone she's trying to investigate.<br /><br />Jade's list of tips to keep safe are:<br />1. Don't keep your blinds open once the sun goes down.<br />2. Always be aware walking through car parks and never be looking down at your phone.<br />3. Make sure your windows and garage doors are locked, not just your front door.<br />4. Don't tag your location whilst you're still there.<br />5. Don't post where you work online.<br />6. Don't post places you visit often online - such as the gym or your child's school.<br />7. If you think someone's following you, drive straight to a police station.
