Actually addresses being public are causing issues. Sweden has a lot of problems with gang violence, and gang members often register their public addresses to other peoples addresses, causing innocent people to be killed. The address you enter is in no way being verified beyond it needing to be a valid address.
Do you have a link where it happened once?
Note that it is in Swedish, and one of the articles is behind a paywall.

It seems that it has indeed happened.
But I think you receive that mail by post that you have to send back when you change address right?
So I guess the people living there weren't totally extraneous?
Citation sorely needed.
