You're pretty anonymous. <g>  I don't think the IRS makes too much public,
but it's easy to research property owners' names and addresses. 

If you have credit cards you are probably being rented.  Some states rent
DMV information.  

It's like anything else that results in money.  Smart energetic people have
put a lot of effort into getting names and addresses and some of them aren't
real scrupulous.  Remember the publicity Metromail (I think) got in the last
year or so when someone noticed that they were renting lists of children?
