And don’t you get your bills for your cell phone sent to your physical address? (I know that electronic billing is catching on, but I don’t think it’s the major mode, yet. By long ways.)
So, is there an official route for finding one’s next of kin (Walloon’s answer seems pretty official) or is it a “by any means necessary” type thing?
Personally, I wouldn’t care if the cops did a little digging in my house (I want my mommy, after all) but I can see a lot of people being pretty pissed at the invasion of privacy that might need to occur to get the right info.
