A utility bill or car registration doesn't prove it any more than a mortgage statement. You could rent out your house but pay for the utilities as part of the rental agreement, or let a family member or friend live there, right? Or you could register a car, and then let someone else drive it while you are gone.
I would argue that its harder to buy a house than sign up for cable tv. A mortgage statement proves you own the house, and is tied to a physical address.
