>The problem is this will likely spook many people - "how does this website know my street address?"

I requested a car insurance quote from Progressive, and the first form in the process asked for my name and street address. After that, it gave me a list of the vehicles I owned and asked which one was I inquiring about.

I know that these are public records, but it still seemed a little creepy to me.
