From adventure-journal.com:
“Some of the GPS data recorded and shared on these sites is so accurate you can pinpoint the house where the journey’s have begun and ended,” said Sgt. Dave Morris of the Staffordshire Police. “We suspect some thieves have been using these sites to identify potential victims and high-value bikes."

Strava has a privacy cone you can turn on to avoid this.

Garmin has a similar setting, no?

I have the privacy circle set for all the resident locations I start from. I also label all my bikes "Huffy something" and not McLaren Venge DI2 Lightweight wheels.

For connect.garmin.com I have the rides private since they don't offer the privacy circle.
