Online purchases? Not very secure.
Wedding season has begun, and with it comes wedding registries, where one's own taste can be happily suspended in favor of buying something the happy couple has certified it wants. Carrie and I bought a gift for a friend from Williams-Sonoma and found this curious note in the shipping confirmation:
Jay Huber and Tanya Accone
625 Broadway, 12 floor
For privacy reasons, the city, state and zip code have been omitted.
So let me get this straight, Williams-Sonoma. You will tell me the street address and floor of the person receiving this gift, but not the city and state? Do you suppose I am sending wedding gifts to people whom I know so casually that I don't know what city they live in?
I didn't know their new address until I got the receipt. I almost feel like I have to stalk and kill my friends just to make a point.

Just to play devil's advocate, I guess you could stalk an ex by buying some small item on their registry and finding their address. Of course if you're even a halfway decent stalker you'd probably already know the city your ex lives in, so omitting that and not the street address is pretty pointless.
This is the kind of thing that would probably work best as a setting in the registry system: "hide my address from my coked-out ex"
