As an American-Brit who has been living in Sweden for a couple of years, I've always found it interesting that pretty much everyone I know here can be found at their home address simply by googling their name and clicking on hitta.se. When I show this to my British or American friends, they're always shocked, and I find myself explaining that "Swedes have a very different, more trusting, relationship with their government than Brits or Americans."
Personally, I've never had a problem arise from this, and neither has anyone I know here, but I've been here less than for two years. I love it here and I can see myself living here for the rest of my life (that is, if you'll have me! Soon time to renew my visa!)
But I find myself wondering: Has anyone here, or anyone you know, ever had a problem arise from their address being listed publicly? Strange people turning up at your door, weird post or packages, or something worse?

jqv23u1I have a hard time believing this. Gangs driving around looking up car numbers on their phones just to threaten the drivers from other neighborhoods...

jqv2tklVarför skulle jag ljuga om det här? Detta skedde i Vårby. Jag tvivlar på att du är ifrån orten men jag är det och sånt kan hända här, de trodde ju min vän var någon annan som de var ute efter.
