I doubt it was a utility company. More likely it was your county auditor. In my county, it also includes how much you paid for your house.

And let's not forget Google Earth, street view!

I think that site is 'google earth'. Put any address in there and a picture pops up.

I know of one site that puts your name age occ. even pic of your front door I think! It should be against the law.

Don't really after i saw a documentary about google and how they know and store every search and page we visit on google in their servers :thumbdown: I guess bad people and bad things can find us with or wihtout QB.
I have lots of fun browsing this site, and it is my hang out place (OMG i need to get a life...lol), so don't really care.

Just don't take pictures with your cell phone and post them directly to the sites. And I agree if someone wants to find you, they will find you. Get a big dog and a gun. I had one guy once come to my door, my German Shepherd dog was out back, but was coming in just as I opened the door, this guy stuck his foot inthe door jam, my dog comes up beside me, I grab his collar. this guy looks at my dog (who is huge!) and says "I am sorry I think I have the wrong place" I said I think you do, and called the cops right after I shut the door.

Love my German Shepherd dogs too :-D ......and guns too!

Please be aware......If pics are taken with a device (aka phone) that is equipped with GPS, the exact location of where the pic was taken can be itentified.

There is a site, can't remember the name that posted your public info, so curiosity got the best of me, I went to the site and posted my name and waaalaaa there I was, map to my house and all my address info, included my phone number, even had a picture of my driveway and I was like how in the heck or when did they do this......

with utility companys gives out your info...

I wish I knew who took that picture of my home, jeep and driveway to my house, cause I thinking lawsuit...

Thanks to phone companys, and electric company's, ect.

I hope they CAN find me! I'm trying to get my business up and going and hopefully they'll call me to have a quilt made. I'll take all the advertising I can get. lol

Actually I worry more about everyone thinking I'm an idiot, not if someone is stalking me. Besides if you show up at my house I'm going to put you to work, need my house cleaned, need some painting done, maybe a few repairs.
And on a serious note, I never post any pictures from my cell phone.

My husband has been on these sights and he says whom ever it is that the government is funding it. Scarey he has shown me out house and driveways and vechiles and can move it around and shows the whole house and street and someone running.
