For a criminal to use such data to facilitate commission of a crime, wouldn’t they still need to know an address to look for? If they already know the address of a potential victim, they don’t need Google to case the place. And if they don’t know the address, Google won’t help them find it.
A criminal doesn’t need to know your address. All he has to do is pick a potential neighborhood and start scrolling up and down the streets until he spots a home that looks promising.

How hard would it be for a co-worker to get your address online? Your HR department already has it. How about any of the countless people that collect such information? A school worker, an employee at a doctor’s office, there are a lot of people that at least know your address.
You should NEVER TRUST anybody, group, business, govt, entity that steals ANYTHING from you period.
If they had respect for you, then they would not try to take it behind your back.
If you worked with someone that you liked and they stole from you. Say you caught them stealing and lying to you. You mean to tell me you would STILL TRUST THEM????
