well, my car *was* broken into a few weeks ago, luckily not stolen. they emptied my glove box and center console (along with taking other stuff) and my address was on registration, insurance slip, and worst of all, a recent work pay stub. luckily it didn't have my SSN on it, but it had my home info, bank info and my account number. i have since had the fun of closing my main bank account and opening a new one.
i didn't even think about the home setting on the nav system. of course, the jerkoff who broke into my car stole nav cds thinking it looked like a traditional cd binder. i kinda doubt a car thief would be interested in finding the vehicle owner, since that could be walking into a trap. most stolen cars (with value) are in a chop shop for parts within hours.
