I was the only clown not to have dragged in the bins the day they shot my street.

it was a friday morning, in summer looking at the position of the sun. Wish I knew, I wouldve bared my bum in the front window .

(I was home that day)

Who'll be first to spot "a strange car" in the driveway while the missus is home "alone" lol

If anyone finds some weird sh1t, post the maps

When it first came out some time ago most people complained about being included due to privacy concerns. Latest suggestion I've seen is a digital face replacement technology that's under development could be useful for applying to things like this (both people and other objects) to preserve privacy while still providing useful images. Yes I read tech news sites too much.

yea I read the same thing 76..

The street view is cool. At least my grass my mowed, but they got my bin outside.
I think its about as private as the front of your house is anyway.

Type in your address and then see how cool it is! Not hard for someone to find you if they wanted to, (two ways of looking at it). There is no such thing as privacy!
