Byron is right.  When my wife and I moved into our
house, we couldn't remember the names of our neighbors
accross the street.  So I went on-line, typed in their
address and, voila!, there were their names!

Kinda scary in the big picture but, for better or
worse, you can proudly display your name on your house
without fear of making it easier for the bad guys.
