When I first got my license, I found it a little disconcerting that your name and address is tied to it. I hadn't thought about someone trying to burgle you while traveling with the radio. But I think fears are a bit overblown. The average criminal is an opportunist. They aren't (that I've heard of) getting fancy radios to look for the off chance that a home is entirely unoccupied, has no security, and has something worth stealing. That said, it doesn't hurt to be prudent and not chat endlessly on the radio about your lovely vaca being so far from home LOL. Also, if you can find a good local private mailbox place, they are fantastic. I had one at a well-run UPS store that would even text or email when you had mail or a package (but they are privately owned so many of them suck). I really liked having the option not to give anyone my address! And no worries about your mail getting stolen or mis-delivered.
