Yes of course, I'm just saying I wouldn't panic. My vehicles are all registered via a company address with a physical address 30+km away anyway. If they really want to find you, they will. They will attach a tracking device to your car in the gunshop carpark, or the range carpark, or wherever.

I used to use our company system to find details for debt collection, or if I got a phone number wrong, or the wife of the owner wasn't answering, or a zillion other reasons. We paid a flat rate and had as many "look ups" as we wanted due to it being a partner to a very large company that dealt with that sort of thing. But unfortunately it was no longer possible after the rule change aroouunnddd mid-late 2009 from memory. Not more expensive, but just plain couldn't do it. That's as much as I know.
