Has Anyone Ever Stole a Deal on BiggerPockets

I know this may sound paranoid, but I'm actually afraid to ask for advice on specific deals on Bigger Pockets because of the possibility of someone stealing the deal.  Is this a legitimate concern?  This market is so bad for buyers that I feel like if I do find a decent deal I'm going to be fighting off the jackals to secure it.

If someone is on top of their game, they may know what property you are talking about. At least a dozen times I've seen people post info on properties in my market and I know what property they are talking about. That being said if someone is smart enough to recognize the property you are asking about from a few small pieces of information....that property is likely already on their radar and they likely have a better chance at getting it than you do.
