Stalking gone awry

I did something for the first time and wish I used more caution in the process. I used Facebook to look up matches for dating. I had a few interesting returns, replies, and rejections out of the deal. However, I had one experience I regret. One person I found that I started chatting with, I really liked. She appears to be my intellectual equal, and make more money than I do. After going though her photo's for the second time, I noticed one of her new house had the number clearly visible. That alone wouldn't be much, but her city was Yonkers,NY which is maybe only 195,000 population. It was a flag lot which there aren't many of. The photos clearly indicated they were clearly taken within a short time of the summer solstices and close to noon, because if the angle of the shade. Because of this, I knew the orientation of her driveway was in the general direction of north. It was obvious she would be easy to find. I wanted to warn her this was a photo to remove, so I did. Since people have a hard time believing my capabilities, I went to Google Maps satellite view, and found her house in under ten minutes. Probably three or four. I then mailed her with the request she remove the picture with the house number and sent the satellite link showing her property too.

Guess what. She freaked. I guess that's understandable, but now she doesn't want anything to do with me. Here I am looking out for her, and get bit for doing what I thought was the right thing to do. At least she removed the photo. I wish I handled it differently. Warning her that it could be done, then when she didn't believe me, find her house and show her. For me, it was a game. I like solving puzzles. In the end, it doesn't matter. She's not good enough for me is she's going to be so judgmental.

Long story short. Be careful what information you post on the internet.

I didn't know what was edited out...
I was referring to opening my mouth to say something, and then saying, "Nevermind".

I had a problem with this line:

She's not good enough for me is she's going to be so judgmental.

Wow... Um... disbelief

facebook just makes it easier for weirdos to do the deed. the truth is, if someone targets you there is nothing you can do except sign off the internet and be gone forever. and even that measure won't deter the seriously dedicated

my computer became infected not long ago, despite anti-malware software and an up to date virus program. i guess i must have clicked on an infected email, one which didn't have an attachment but did have malware embedded in its contents. well color me oops!

unless you have an ISP address which constantly changes, you are locatable through that your ISP address as well. basically, if you use the internet you can be stalked. period.
