It scares me to death, but I don't think those "title lock" companies offer a real solution. I just made my computer remind me to check it myself once a month. Sometimes I actually even do it! Which is probably more protection than $15/mo would buy you.
The government that posted your private information on-line for all to steal could solve this easily themselves by simply sending a letter to the owner to require written confirmation before recording a transfer of ownership. They certainly have an address to send it to.
Of course, no county does this. Maybe we citizens should ask our representitives to fix this.
