Cool advise, but there is real nothing anyone can do about it unless they are planning on beating the information of their locations out of him.
Are you presuming that we are safe in regards to our actual location(s)? There may be times in which we are in one location versus another locations, yet there might be times in which we are mostly in one location - do we have "sufficient" security at our current location based on what valuables we have versus what some rando on the interwebs might rightly or wrongly believe us to have?
Not really, this might be an open forum but that doesn't mean that you knew where I am or I know where you are, there is still a level of privacy here so unless you give out your actual location no one will bother you about anything.
So if you want to you can still share your method, laminated and kept safe in three different locations, just don't make those locations public.

(like yesterday). You will thank me later.
Fact.
Look. I have somewhere in the ballpark of 36.6k posts on this forum, and most likely, this forum is not my only digital footprint. There have been times that I share some information that might relate to my current location, and so there are also some members who might be public and interacting about their information and/or asking other members about their information. There are members who might NOT even be participating in the forum in regards to posting and sharing information, yet they might be wanting to try to glean information about other members, whether it is about their location, their bitcoin (crypto) / financial security practices and maybe their intentions are merely innocent curiosity, and other times their intentions might not be so honest (and non-intrusive).
Remember in the good ole days, stealing value might have had to have had taken place in person, yet in recent times, we have more and more ways that value has become able to be transmitted and held digitally, and especially bitcoin with a lot of its unique characteristics, and some of bitcoin characteristics and even abilities to hold and transmit value has become characteristics of other digital assets, whether shitcoins or other kinds of assets (products) that might relate with bitcoin.
Some of the digital assets (such as bitcoin) have built in characteristics of irreversibility and unstoppableness, even though of course aspects of bitcoin can be pseudo-traced, yet even some of the digital assets that are seemingly quite a bit centralized, traceable and stoppable, they sometimes might even end up allowing value to be transmitted or stored within them for nepharious purposes prior to being traced or stopped. Historically bank robbers may well take a lot of chances to rob high amounts of value, even while knowing that the chances of their getting caught might have had been pretty high, and of course, these days, the calculations of skills, access to information and negative consequences from robbing from others are ongoingly changing, and who is really saying that any bad actors are even necessarily competent in their robbing skills, but at the same time, they still might be willing to take chances based on their calculations (rightly or wrongly) of getting caught and/or other negative ramifications from trying to take (or taking) coins from others.
It seems to me that we also have some actors in the bitcoin (and crypto) space who might not even be so concerned robbing in order to gain value for themselves, but they might be inclined to rob in order to either prevent others from having value or to sabatoge bitcoin (crypto) systems, which surely could even be indirectly bringing value to themselves through their other investments and/or interests, and maybe even sometimes something like governments and/or financial institutions seem to want to monitor and/or control various individuals, and so tools like bitcoin might challenge the abilities of governments / financial institutions to be able to monitor and control certain individuals, so they might target to weaken or destroy bitcoin (crypto) based on bitcoin (crypto) challenging their own status quo powers.

This is info for the noobs that might have said to themselves I'll post my cool setup and not remembered how dangerous that can be.
Literally posting too much info can get you the wrench.
multiple safety deposit boxes are helpful
People sometimes forget this is an open forum and has been proven in this here very thread ad infinitum that even posting a picture where you are (or the sky from where you are) can disclose your location.
Exactly. That's why you should never post a picture of where you are. But you can post a picture of where you are not.
Some folks have policies to post about where they have been rather than either where they are at or where they might be going. Some folks also post information that may or may not reflect actual information about themselves or their current situations, even though some members might misread such information or wrongly infer from the information that had been posted, which seems to be some thing that you, AlcoHoDL, might be suggesting to be a possible practice.
By the way, even pertaining to my lil selfie, I have had times that I have posted information that may or may not have real parts of my own circumstances, yet members will sometimes strongly infer from such posted information as if it were some kind of tangible and meaningful piece of information about my personal specifics.
There also could be some members who post quite a bit of ongoing information about their supposed particulars that cause other members to presume that we know some of their personal details, which may or may not end up being true... and for sure, we have some forum members who claim to have had met in real life, which may or may not end up being a good thing - even though for sure, who doesn't like to have like-minded friends and/or acquaintances, to the extent that any of us might be able to suss out the motives of others who we meet and spend time with in real life.

At that point you are the one sharing your location to the rest of the world, making you responsible for anything that ends up happening.
Sure there is some responsibility that comes from being sloppy, taking risks and suffering negative consequences when bad people do bad things, yet at the same time, bad people should bear some responsibility too, to the extent that they might end up getting caught or paying for their bad actions (maybe ONLY through Karma?).
In thWe can look at the example of Ukraine. Everything was fine, until the day it didn't stay
Someone could have two or three backups scattered in different locations.
But imagine that you were out of town when she suffered an attack
There was no way to go back, not to his house or these other safe places of the seed.
He only had the option of fleeing the country.
So how did you take the seed with you?
If you couldn't go to one of the places where you had kept the backup?
Another thing might relate to competency to put together your seed in the right kind of way, whether it might need a few parts or even knowledge (memory) in regards to how to do it, and how much of the instructions might be written down versus not written down? Can you call a friend for help? and/or do you have any friends (in the given scenario) that could be relied upon to "help" rather than potentially ending up as threat vectors?
There could be ways that seeds are quite secure and not vulnerable, yet when all of the parts are brought together (if such a thing might be required), they become quite vulnerable, and then when they are brought together, do they represent 100% of your bitcoin (crypto) holdings or some smaller amount?
