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?

jqv72hmNot ever before last week. In our towns facebook page someone complained about motorbikes being too loud. One old guy called OP an idiot and said he would drive even louder next time. I wrote that the man had the smallest penis in town. He said I should be quiet and posted a picture of my address and my annual salery. I reported him and blocket him, he was clearly a maniac. The day after there was a load ass motorbike going by my house four times, never heard such bike here before. So I think the psycho went by my house. I have now promised my wife to stop anger people on facebook.
