So I see.....and got an OOF tax disk holder, and 2 window stickers shown ;D

They have been down the main dual carriageway past where I used to live. Hope I am not out and about when the camera comes round.
I dont actually agree with what they are doing, I looked up where my Nan used to live in Aberdeen and in a sence it was nice to see nothing has changed in 32 years since I last visited, but then I realised all the surrounding cars numbers plates were vuisible.
Not good for people getting thier number plates cloned on the current petrol theft situation. Grab a reg number from 300 miles away and take a guess that thats were the car resides if you give falsee info - No Thanks. :-/

My street not there, at least I do not think so.

The whole 96 houses on the estate cannot have the same postcode surely?

I think its about 3 years, as google maps shows my disco3 on the drive. Sold it 3 years ago. ;)
Street ones show my Miggy that I bought a few months ago. ;D

My car is only visible in a reflection off our neighbours window :( :(

Blimey, :o did not think they had been anywhere near us :o Photo must have been taken on a Wednesday, post June last year, possibly Summer holidays because all our cars are there and the Mig up the road a bit. You can see in our front room almost :-/ Wednesday cos all our recycling stuff is out, good job the glass one is covered by another box ::) ::) ::)

How the hell does this work then? They must have taken video footage and every frame is accessible, because you can see your house from a variety of angles, and even look up to the sky!

Further investigation suggests that it was taken on the Wednesday following 9th July 2009 and before 8.00am. had a quick glance round the village and not seen anyone.
Date, Miss Vamps Cardboard from her birthday bike is out for collection, timing, our cars and bedroom curtains of our house and over the road closed..... :D :D
A lot of information can be seen, great for the criminals sussing a job, just do it from your computer :-/

Hee Hee Vamps, that reminded me of one of our Relatives in South Yorkshire. She always wraps any drink bottles in tons of newspaper & buries them at the bottom of the bin bag among the household waste. I bet that goes on a lot everywhere, but not here apparently! Our neighbours take a pride in stacking their empty booze bottles as high as they will go without spilling out of the box :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

My road is a pretty old picture, I can still see my Combo parked out the back :o

You can request a blurring of yourself, car, house or whatever. :y

Hello mate. Clicked on the link you posted, found my house but when i tried to post on here it showed your house. Do i need to save to my pics/docs/photobucket before dragging across? :-/

As far as I can work out, need to press print screen (top line of keyboard, right of F12) then shift/insert into something like paintshop pro,or similar before saving and uploading to photobucket and OOF.
If that makes sense...... ;)

Find your house then click the little chain button on the right of the page.
Use the top link in the box that appears and it will show the view you're looking at.

Can't tell when mine was taken, but I wish I,d taken the rubbish up the tip earlier and not left it down the side of my house.

I didn't have the Omega last July when the car came down my street.
We saw them coming from the front window and my kids tried their hardest to get out to the front and outside before he went past, but the door was locked and they failed. 8-)
