I didn't told her where I live. And one sunday evening she rang at my door.
Addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses are trivial to find for almost anyone who knows how to look, and they can be obtained legally. I used to work as a reporter for an international publication and we could quickly find the phone numbers and home addresses of almost anyone we needed to reach, and that was before most of today's online tools existed. By the way, I have read that even in this age of everything online one of the most frequent ways to have personal information stolen is to simply steal someone's physical mail direct from their mailbox or from the trash. In some cases they just contact the post office and switch your mail to their address. Lots of people still receive things like bank statements, new checks, and refund checks via snail mail. Here in the USA we all receive and send lots of paper checks back and forth--very easy to steal.
