Do you get all packages from diapers.com sent to an anonymous post office box? Do you take the carseat out everytime you leave the car unattended? Because someone could see that and deduce that you have a baby.
I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass, (other than my comments above) but I don't get it. What are the threats people are afraid of?

Talk about a pedophile's dream and a perfect situation for identity theft. It's not 1950. Don't do a stork. It's just WEIRD, tacky, unsafe and cheesy.

Strollers stored inside at all times? Likewise Cozy Coupes, scooters, sidewalk chalk, random dump trucks, carefully curated piles of sticks and pinecones? Any irregular valentines and/or cut-paper snowflakes taped to your windows? What about sunshades, "baby on board" signs, and the fine layer of cheerios and raisins in your car?
THANK GOD you spend 20 minutes each night carefully erasing any evidence that a kid lives in your house. Otherwise, who knows...
We had our front windows bricked over. They were just too tempting to our toddler. He kept *gasp* looking out. Someone could have seen him!
