    My house actually looks really nice, pic was taken on a gorgeous sunny day, i must of been at work though as my car isn't there.

    My house actually looks better on the pic then it does in real life lol.

    I got excited seeing it, how sad am i.:o

    I also looked at my childhood home i grew up in, it is unrecognisable now, they have ripped out my mums hedges that she spent 20 years growing:mad::rotfl:

    The school entrance and they got it removed because they had several children in the picture

    Presumably the kids would have had their faces blurred so as to not be identifiable, so deleting the pictures completely just sounds like PC madness.

    My own street has a school and there are loads of kids in the GSV pictures so they might as well remove my entire street if they are so paranoid.

    Looking at the pictures they have of my house, and it brings back memories of what the next door looked like before they started the building works, must have been last summer time the cars came round going by the cars in the drive-way

    And like I said I feel I have some entitlement to be paranoid. I wonder how you would feel if a crazed maniac broke into your property in an attempt to touch your children. So yes it has made me a little paranoid!!

    Have you spoken to a mental health professional about your obsession? Paranoia is not a healthy emotion, and your paranoia is very extreme. I hope you do not act like this around your children.

    Did the crazed maniac (who defined him as such?) tell you he had come into your house to touch your children, or is that a further part of your paranoia?

    Assuming this incident did not happen in the past few days, it happened before your home was viewable on the internet. If someone intends to commit a criminal act, they will do so, irrespective of whether they can view someones house on the internet or not.

    You either need to get things into perspective, or seek professional help.
    Gone ... or have I?

    You know its people like you who spoil things for others. To try and be rude just because your irritated by my post is just as unhealthy. You didn't need to read the thread. The crazed maniac broke into four homes. The home after us he sexually assaulted a young girl and the home before us he stole young girls under wear.

    I'm intrigued to know how you would define this person

    Your smart talk and below the belt comments are just evidence of your complete inability to communicate your point.

    Like I said I live with someone who has dealt with burglars for 15 years and I hope you won't be offended if I consider his professional opinion more than your spiteful comments.

    Furthermore I doubt the newspaper articles were just written about me, but the opinions of many many others who live their privacy

    I was not being rude, I was giving my opinion, just as you are. There was nothing in your post that irritated me. Yet again you are overreacting.

    I really would seek professional help for your paranoia. It is not healthy.

    My home is secure, I just thought I was doing something nice by letting people whose homes weren't previously on there may be on there now.

    If people felt that alone warranted jokes about paed ophiles, crass comments about my parenting and pi"" taking about a nutter breaking into a house then I have nothing further to say
