   I have to agree with you on this , there's a big difference from seeing a   
   celeb on the location to finding there address with a star map and then   
   claim but I was on public property.... ask your self this Question would I   
   repeat what I had done if I had met celeb who's house I was looking for   
   answer would be no because deep down you know that you have invaded their   
   privacy????and they would look at you like you were stalking them   
   .....unless you have been stalk you don't know how creepy this behaviour is   
   ....
