How exactly do these criminals get access to personal information and addresses exactly?
If you are in an online game using some pseudonym, your IP address is hidden, how do you find a city/street address?
Secondly unless the victim was giving out the address willy-nilly, most IPs don't point to actual locations/addresses just general vicinity and if you use a mobile carrier, even very very far away.

And even if it isn't, the Zillow's of the world have that information online anyway. All you need is a name, and if you want a bit more targeted search the municipality of the home. I just recently searched for my home purchase information online, because it would've taken me longer to dig up the closing documents. It took me 2 minutes.
