Where did you download the wallet client from?
Yes, which client are you using.  That might help.

Is 1HeAK9siHVWYfWGBVBcGz13WUZkYs5aUGx in your address book? 
Bitcoin-Qt version v0.8.1-beta.

It looks like the address book is stored in the wallet.dat file. Since my current wallet.dat file is one that was restored from before the theft, it doesn't show that address. I saved a copy of the hacked wallet.dat file before I did the restore, but it's corrupted, so the wallet client can't read it. I can't see any addresses in the corrupted file when I use the UNIX 'strings' tool on it, even though I see some of my legitimate addresses when I do 'strings' on the current, good wallet.dat file.
