If I was a potential burglar, and I was browsing street view, if I came to the blank areas, my first thought would be, "What are these guys hiding?"

I like having street view of my flat. Had I known they were coming, I'd have mooned out of my balcony.

I live on a main road and there's a huge gap where my place is. They haven't mapped it yet!

Burglars are opportunists. Just don't leave windows open when you're out, obvious but you'd be surprised. Not everyone is in love with street view though, but there's no evidence to suggest it has contributed to crime stats.

I don't see anything wrong with people wanting to get their houses removed from streetview.

Nor do I, for whatever reason they wish.

You sure someone hasn't requested for it to be removed. As far as I am aware the UK has been pretty much mapped now. If both sides of your house i,e further up the street is mapped than I would definitely say someone has requested for it to be removed.

I think google should block people from using the service of streetview and maps if they want their house removed lol

Is there a way to get google to come back and take new pictures as my street view is showing my old banger parked in my drive and I've since bought a brand new car and also replaced my old gravel drive with block paving?

And I've also painted the exterior woodwork as well.
