What use would that be given that the photos are several months old at least?

Surely most of the information derived by looking at your house, now or six months ago, has remained fairly static...

Lol, all this time I didn't realise Google Streetview had been around my area.

For those who don't know how to check it on google maps.....

Find your area, on the zoom there is a little yellow man, click and hold your mouse and then drag it to the area you want to view

Sorry if this sounds dumb but I just figured it out myself. I always assumed streetview had little dots where it was

Checking out what kind of cars people have, escape routes etc. etc. It's a robbers paradise. :eek:

You're right! We better ban people from walking down streets with their eyes open in case they're robbers!

zOMG it goes all the way down my drive. Pretty creepy. Would have tidied up the garden if I'd known they were coming.

They got me cleaning my car! Not very flattering as I'm in my "scruff".

Do people really believe that your average burglar is going to sit in front of google streetview trying to find houses to rob? It would be much simpler to jsut walk down the road. At least then they can see if anyone is in or not.

DD's car is in it twice, at work and on my drive with her staring at the camera car. Those pics were taken several weeks apart. Looking in the window she is still at her old house which she moved from in Oct 08 so the pics are well out of date. My car is in my old work car park, I left a year ago. My old boss is walking across the car park.

They could have waited until after my house was painted before coming. I think we had just moved in when it was taken which was June last year. Its been done up since the picture was taken and doesn't look so scuffy!

No, that's a good thing. The burglars won't be tempted to rob your house now!
