With that info, people can do a lot of nasty stuff either to you, or in your name.

i had a guy and his son living with me for a while after they got kicked out of their place for not paying rent. the kids mom was crazy and kept trying to get the kid back even tho she was crazy and they would not give her custody. some how she was able to get all of my information, my address including the apartment number and the apartment number i had live in before i changed apartments and she knew a bunch of other crap about me too. she showed up in town about a week after they moved out and came to my door freaking out. a few of my friends are cops and took care of her quick..

she found out all that info on my just by my name and i have no idea how i was not in the phone book or any thing. so i guess it's not all that hard to get any info you want about a person.
