Apparently the OP doesn't have a clue as to how much public information
is available from his own gov't.
Don't know where he lives but in my state in the USA, I can, for
example, find out who owns what property from the property tax rolls.
It's online at my state gov't web site. I had a guy selling my handguns
on commission but he disappeared. Found out the property owner that was
renting the shop to him to see if he knew what happened to his tenant.
He got all upset that I could find out he owned the property but he
calmed down and gave me some contact info (turned out the be the
renter's father that provided collateral). I think it was when I
mentioned not wanting to proceed with legal means of collection when he
calmed down and he actually listened to my statements that I had no
intention of coming after him. He was just renting the shop. It wasn't
his fault the guy disappeared (turned out the guy got hospitalized for
dysinteria on a safari during a 2-week vacation and his brother just
closed his shop instead of running it as he had promised). The property
owner got all in huff when he found out I found him by going through the
property rolls as though he expected his ownership of any property was
some private matter.
If I have a need, I can get the owner of a car by their license plate
number through the DOT. There's lots of public info out there from the
gov't, corporations, phone companies, etc. and a lot is simply
volunteered by the person themself. peoplefinder.com is hardly the only
people search engine/database with info on the OP. There's Intellius
(
http://www.publicrecordfinder.com/) and many others that collect from
*public* records.
