Funny, my didnt have the language about using the phonebook removal form. I had to search for a link in the "about google" link found at the bottom of the page.

Actually, after you type in your phone number, your info shows up. Click on Phonebook Results above your information and that screen that I posted should show up.

This is why there will always be a need for a place for discussion of more than simply cards per se. The tip which was provided was invaluable. I plugged in my phone number on Google and there was a map to my frigging house! Unbelievable. I hit the remove button and it said in 48 hours it will be gone. As if I were not paranoid enough after my UPS card loss, Ben's theft and now this...

i just removed my phone # from google, thanks to Josh K..
i had to search a bit on the about google portion as Josh suggested.
i am paranoid now tbob---the about google page listed other pages folks
could get our address via phone number that google has no power over.
i think i'll go to ebay and look for some 206's and relax a minute or two.

all the best

I have an unlisted phone number. My number doesn't show an address.

But so is Paris Hilton's. Didn't stop the hackers from getting into her sidekick.

Ben,

From what I understand, and I could be missing something, I think it is much more obvious that the thief was someone who knows you or who knows someone who knows you. Certainly there are many people who know about your colection and where you live, or whom could find out easily enough about where you live and I would not discount that entirely. However, if I'm properly reading your posts 1) there was no sign of forced entry, 2) nothing else was taken or disturbed. This person sure seemed to know exactly where your cards were. They did not need to ransack the place to find them. They may also have a key to the apartment. Also remember that when you tell 3-4 friends, they are likely to tell 10-20. There are probably a good many local people who know about your cards. These same people probably know when you are or are not home.

Good Luck

Bob
