I think that's the reason for not being too clear about where you live in your profile.
"England's Heart" should do me, but even "Mid Staffs, UK," makes things a bit difficult to narrow things down for a *tealeaf*, IMHO.
Also, if NAP 500s were ever nicked for the purposes of selling them, would there be a market for them at car boot sales, etc, what with the serial numbers and all that?
Many home contents insurers are not unduly worried by the residuals of home hi-fi for this very reason.
It is not exactly like car stereos, is it?
A used NAP 500 for sale on Loot @ 500 GBP, for example, would raise a few too many eyebrows, and the thief/receiver/seller would invariably be caught.

Fortunately for we consumers on this forum, dealers are obvious, *easy* targets for the steal-to-order mob. All a tea leaf has to do is do a search on a product that he's after - and its dealer network, and Bob's your uncle, so to speak!
Pinching to order from the homes of happy users, I doubt would be that easy, unless you stated your exact name and address on this forum, which nobody does, to my knowledge.
As for BT directories, they only give the phone number in response to an enquiry about a known name and address. They don't give the address for an enquiry about a given phone number, or just an address, but no name; at least that was the state of play when I once tried it a long time ago - and my intentions were honorable at that time!
If they have changed their policy since, in this regard, then they want their arses kicking!
Unfortunately for me, my surname is rare, so it would be possible for someone to track down my address if they knew the town where I lived.

In the US of Eh, they are obviously too free and easy about such data, for obvious commercial reasons... The phones and everything else were always in private hands over there, unlike here, where privatisation in the last twenty years or so, carried certain conditions to make the whole process palatable for individuals; - more than for colossal corporations and lawyers, who, in turn, seem to be the only *free* individuals in the US. This explains why the rest of the *intelligentia* over there have to remain strictly Politically Correct in all their dealings and (casual) communication, lest they be sued by any financially-resourceful being.
Absolute Capitalism, and Absolute Stalinism seem to deliver identical oppression for the individual...
Boy! Am I glad to be living in Europe!
