AIBU?
Posting someone's phone number and address on Facebook

An acquaintance on Facebook recently did a good deed and returned a dog's collar he'd found in the park to its owner - identifying her from the mobile number and address engraved on the metal tag attached to the collar.
Fine.
But he then posted a photo of the tag - with details clearly visible - and a pic of her house on Facebook saying what had happened and mentioning that it belonged to a 'little old lady'.
AIBU to think that this is a massive invasion of her privacy and potentially a security threat?

I have messaged him and he's replied 'don't worry, she's got her dog to take care of her' winky sodding face. So he clearly doesn't see it as an issue.
I've also reported to FB as have a couple of mutual friends. But the FB reporting process gives you weird options (and no 'other' to tick) and they have so far come back saying it isn't deemed 'inappropriate.'
I would be livid if someone put my personal details on an open forum!

I did comment publicly. But oddly no one else jumped on the bandwagon to agree with me, so I started thinking maybe IWBU!
I will try to deal with FB again and see if they can take it down. I find it surprising that you can't flag a post/pic as a security concern and have someone look at it that way.

Ffs what is really going to happen here? She's a little old lady why would his fb friends care? Pretty strange to put a pic of her house on there, and overall a pretty minor event to bd bragging about I could understand if he found her dog but a collar really?
