When I called the post office, I was told put any first class mail return to sender. Person does not live here.
Anything with name or current resident was mine. It took 6 months to get the crap to quit coming in. I called all the companies that sent catalogs.
No I don't want wine or children's books or a ton of cheap party stuff.
Our postal codes are 4 numbers and two letters. A lot of people that don't want to enter their adddress, give the postal code 1234AB and house number 123. That's enough to uniquely identify a house.

Turns out that's an actual postal code with house number! They get disconnected from phone, internet, gas, water, electricity every once in a while (people who don't want to play their bills give false addresses). As it is a corner house, the house now has another house number so, the problems have decreased (though it can take several years before the old address is gone from all databases...)
