@eric2203 I’m also not a fan of social networking sites. I agree it makes it things a lot easier for people to steal your identity or learn stuff about you that you might want to keep private because there are many social networking aggregating sites that compile all sorts of info about people.

I had my car stolen right in front of my home once and since I watch a lot of movies and TV I immediately thought it must have been a teenage gang member that stole my car. A week or two later I got a late night call from the police in a county that was an hour drive away and was told I needed to come pick up my car right away if I didn’t want to pay an impound fee, but they needed some time to search it for needles, drugs and other stuff first because they found drugs, stolen property and a lot of tools thieves use. I found an insurance form in my car that the police had missed that had the thief’s name on it. With just knowing the thief’s full name and the county she lived in I was able to find out all sorts of things about her. I had her date of birth and her adult son’s date of birth, her level of education, their phone numbers, their e-mail addresses, and their home address. I knew they lived in a nice neighborhood and made much less than the average for that neighborhood. They had a dog. I could have gotten her arrest record, but I didn’t want to pay for that. All this took me less than 2 minutes to discover and didn’t cost me anything. I was just curious about what kind of person would steal my car was very surprised to learn it was a 49 year old Italian lady.
