My pc was stolen and I had Chrome with sync active on it.

Now I'm login into Chrome from a new pc and I'm seeing an autofill entry with a name and address I don't recognize, my theory is that it must be an autofill used by someone who has the computer now (the robber or a 2nd hand buyer)

I can use SQlite browser but I have no idea where to look for the synced autofill records so I can check the create date. Any ideas?

Download SQLite Database Browser. Head over to %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default and copy Web Data file to a separate folder.

Now open Web Data with the SQL Lite browser. Click on Execute SQL and type

SELECT *
FROM   autofill
WHERE  VALUE LIKE 'your-autofill-entry' 

enter image description here

Make a note of the pair id, and type in

SELECT *
FROM   autofill_dates
WHERE  pair_id = number-obtained-from-above-step

That'll get you the Unix epoch of when the autofill entry was created

enter image description here

Head over to Epoch converter and you'll get the Epoch converted to the date/time you're familiar with.
