Did me and my neighbors and it seems to be pulling the correct data from DMV. Didn't know they could do that, much less provide such information so freely.

http://www.progressive.com/ --> start a quote with the right zip code and all you need correct is the rest of the address.

Someone did Bill Gates:
2014 Audi Q5 PRESTIGE
2013 Audi Q7 PREMIUM PLUS
2013 BMW X5 XDRIVE50I
2013 Buick ENCLAVE
2013 Chevrolet K1500 SUBURBAN LT
2013 Infiniti QX56
2013 Mazda CX-9 GRAND TOURING
2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550 4 MATIC
2013 Nissan ARMADA SE/TITANIUM
2012 Acura MDX TECH
2012 Acura MDX TECH
2012 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN SXT
2011 Chevrolet EXPRESS G1500 LT
2011 Jeep WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA
2011 Subaru TRIBECA LIMITED/TOURING
2011 Toyota HIGHLANDER/SE
2009 Audi Q7 PRESTIGE
2008 GMC ACADIA SLT-1

That's nothing new. I found out about the "sharing of information" a couple of years ago when I called AAA about auto insurance. The agent had all my info. House, cars, driving record, etc.

Same way you get all those extended warranty offers from companies you've never heard of before too.

This is interesting ... the empty house near mine has been unoccupied for three years. The owner, which is the original owner since 2000, hasn't occupied the premise since 2006. Yet, the progressive site thinks there are four motor vehicles registered there. Now ain't that a hoot!? Dem ghosts!

Maybe they just changed it. It now requires full name and date of birth. I tried without them but it said they are required when I clicked submit.

Can't see inside a garage. If you only needed an address, then that's an easy way for thieves to do a quick check of what's in an area and worth looking into further. Could be an indication of what level of spending they could find inside the house too. If they changed it to needing a name and DOB now then that helps.
