Ordering Pizza in 2015 (or sooner !!)

I saw this a few years ago. It's frightening.
 
Good bit of this can be done today. We had an issue with our house and needed information from two owners back, dating to 1980s. I went online and found the name of the husband and wife in the country tax records. Did a bunch of Googling and found nothing other than the fact that the husband had passed away. Then I found a company that said for 99 cents (yes, less than $1) they would give me full information. I charged it to my credit card and it was amazing what showed up next. They had all of their addresses including the current one. It duly noted that the husband had passed away and bunch more detail. It then gave us their current phone number. My attorney called her and while she did not want to talk to us, it was all correct info. The report I got was something like two pages of detail. All for 99 cents!
 
There have been a couple times that someone has posted a picture of their audio gear/home theater room and a few minutes later I posted an exterior photo of their house in the same thread. :) They couldn't figure out how I knew where they lived so fast. Here is how I did it on one occasion:

1. Googled user name and found another forum that they posted in
2. Looked for classified ads in that forum and found picture of motorcycle for sale in front of house with house number showing
3. Looked up house number in county assessor's website (there were only a few houses with the same number)
4. Viewed attached photo at assessor's website to find match.
5. Copied and pasted photo or else used google maps street view to find house and cut/paste

That's actually pretty scary!
