Google Street View rocks.

^^^
is your scoob/house on view..?

Wish mine was .. :(

Nothings from a satellite. Google maps 'satellite' pictures are actually aerial pictures. Google Streets data is generated from pictures taken from cars which have driven down every road.

My house is very clear: but my opinion remains the same. Suggesting that criminals will target peoples cars as a result of this site is bordering on stupid...

Put my neck on the line and say I like it, I still trying to find my car, It looks like its about mid morning when they took the images.
I am more nervous of the flat bed transit that followed me home the other day, thats more of a risk than a picture of my parked car on the internet.

No my house isn't on Street view YET.. but I'm sure it will be eventually, and to be quite frank I really couldn't give a toss if it is/was. Honestly I REALLY would not be concerned about it 1 iota!

I really can't see of what benefit it is to any kind of criminal, unless I'm targeting your street specifically ... in which case I'm gonna go do a personal recce myself and not rely on some shonky potentially upto 5 year old photograph to tell me what the lay of the land is, and what's worth nicking! I might even take my own photographs as I'm going..

To add, it also seems they're doing a fairly good job at obscuring number plates on the fly as well, most i have seen have been completely obliterated. I think IIRC this was a Information Commision concern that needed to be addressed before they got the go ahead in the UK, Streetview has been around for a couple of years now in the US.

you guys are tits, my house , my parents , and my dads shop are all in plain view and clear!

i can walk around my dam house on it and i can see straight throught the kitchen and see the tap !

my dads is so clear i can ****ing see him through the window at his workplace ! ive emailed my family saying he famous lol

its not good at all , apprently they went round in a car with cameras on it?

someone today was telling me they heard on radio that a person has been using google earth to see houses with a certain roof style and robbing them.. this streetview gives them more to use as research!

its shocking cause mine is a dead end styreet/estate, someone has walked though and been down each roaqd in the estate. crystal clear , never mind blurred..

lolthe bloody lady on my road can be seen with her bright green jacket at the bus stop!

haha just walking though the area of my house and been passed takeaway and theres a recovery truck blocking road, click further down to see further down road and its doign 3 point turn, pretty neat actually as a few more clicks and its parked on side of road!

suppose its good in town centers and touristy places, not peoples houses/streets and estates like mine which are near absolutely nothing,so have no need to be on there

lol ive got to say its pretty good, been seeing this bird for a while# (off net), met up and that,never been to her house..

put her address in and had a nice walk round her garden and i was that close i wanted a go on her trampaline lol i didnt because i think her dad or bro is standing otuside house, its blurred so cnt tell hu it is

I like it, shame my street int on yet

i like it it's pretty cool it's not live so whats the problem i saw one of these cars few months ago so i did a lil search and there i was walking across a bridge lol

I love it and my car is on the drive in it.

If anyone wants to rob it the keys are in the house and they are more than welcome to come and try to get them.

No worse than somone driving around the streets looking for motors to nick. Id be more worried about get my car jacked at the trafic lights

even worse is i cant see my car outside my house BUT i can see it outside my OLD work place along with my OTHER car too,,, and my work is closed so it was the ONLY day i ever borrowed a work van that they done the photos pmsl

interesting .......:lol1:

lol wikd post

Again, google come up with some amazing software. Top stuff and worth the wait. just wish they'd done more than London in the UK.

tinfoil hat
 

It's worse than that, from the aerial view and the street view you could work out a floor plan including internal doors, how easy would it be for them to break in and sneak around your house in the dark without you even knowing !!! I heard a bloke in the pub saying you can see what type of locks are fitted to the doors too, they could come pre armed with all this knowledge and virtually walk right in. Scary stuff indeed. If you had left your door open when the photos were taken then you can most likely see the car keys hanging in the hall, you could zoom in on the photo and just cut an exact copy or if the photo is not that clear the crims could make a fishing rod exactly the right length to nick them through the letterbox. The best defence is to park a police car on your drive when the photos are taken, that way you are either the law, or in trouble with the law - either way not worth the hassle.
Saying that I expect the crims now have even better targets, I saw a BRINKS armoured van on one photo, so they now know exactly the number of guards, the route, time and place for a cash delivery - much easier pickings eh ?

I wonder if anyone will stop and think about what they can see with their own eyes....;)

Lol, getting a key cut from a photo is stretching it a little if you ask me..:lol1:

Now that is getting a little paranoid..;)

Having slept on it, my initial shock at seeing my gaff/car has given way to my techie side, which does actually think it's quite impressive..:cool:

Looking at it from another point of view, if any scrote does ever have a go and I found out his address, it would be very easy to choose a place to shoot from as he stepped out his front door..! :norty:

Slightly off topic, I had my "tracker" checked on Friday, the operator said I was parked in an "industrial area" near a railway line....

I moved into the "new build" house over three years ago !

LOL

dunx

P.S. Not on google yet, but I blocked their access as I live on a private road, and said they needed my permission to enter. Tw@s !

Oh well in that case it must be true! Why didn't you say sooner? :p

As for for the other comments, well the ones that stick in my mind...

My house and car are clearly visible on google earth, yup, my white RA is on view no problem, also it seems that I had a couple of buddies round at the time because there are 3 scoobs on my drive, good Lord, I'm going to have to move.

As for working out floor plans, you can do that by looking at the window arrangement from any street, the diffused glass is the bathroom by the way ;) Downpipes and soil/vent stacks give away foul connections so thats the bathroom, kitchen, downstairs crapper and en-suite shagged.

Organised crims will check out the place in person first, chancers will have a go anyway so it makes no difference imo and its actually pretty cool when you play about with it.

We have been on CCTV and spywatch for so long now, this isn't a patch on what the world governments are already aware of.

No plates are blured so no chance of cloning.

Yeah but the window etching's are not blurred, neither are tax discs, so if you used the latest cutting edge digital enhancing software you could still get a result.

Its just what you can see walking down the street so i dont see what the big deal is.

My mate down south his car etc is on it and he doesnt seem bothered at all.

But it is new software. There is always going to be people moaning and whining about something new.

How many theaves have that then, and i dout you could get the plate from digital enhancing the etching or tax.

this is awesome, just spent hours walking around tokyo!!!

people that are getting crazy about privicy are being silly, what can you see on google street that you can't see when walking/driving down the roads?

Is there some hidden button that I havn't found that allows people to see through walls?

Interesting comments guys. Just tell me one thing. Of all of you that have made positive comments about this have had their house broken into and trashed in am attempt to find your car keys and pinch your car?

Yea its amazing being able to walk round New York etc spent ages on it

i think its fantastic, the street view allows you to walk around at ground level like you were there.

think only a few big cities have been photographed anyway?

EXACTLY - and it's only what you would have seen a year ago when the pics were taken.
