    It's more likely that the accounts were sold on than the hacker using them themselves.

    Even if they did it's unlikely they used their real information and most delivery places will deliver to public places (pubs/bars/etc) so you can avoid giving out your real address.

    "Er, yes..."
    "We need you to come down to the station to answer some questions about pizza coupon theft"
    "What? How did you know it was me??"
    "You left your details all over the internet. Frankly, as thefts go, that was very sloppy, Giuseppe"

    :D
