I agree with Denton.
there are several search engine programs out now, that can access _any_ public records, be it property listings, court documents, white and yellow pages, etcetc
there is one place, that does searches, linked to the yahoo people search, for $100 and usually 2-4 days, they will provide a persons entire public records for the last 20 years, if i remember correctly.
Thats a n y t h i n g in public records....house puchases, vehicles, land purchase or rentals, court dockets, any unsealed court documents, you'd be very surprised what can be had if you knwo where to look.
The best defense, as always, is simply common sense, and being aware that this information is available on any particular person at anytime.
and Val, Denton is right about you being able to handle yourself.
that vast majority of these "beasts" are simply talking out their ass to look big. Of the few who actually aren't talking out their ass, handle them the same way you handle a 13 foot gator
