[Dave20046]

thiefs best friend that camera!

[carty]

Excellent! Now I know exactly where your bike's parked when I need a new one! ;) :D

[pencil shavings]

how do you do that? get the view to change from top down?

[Warthog]

How did you find out?! I guess is it always parked there?

[arcdef]

How were they ever allowed to do this!

[simesb]

How were they ever allowed to do this!

public place. not a police state (yet)

[carty]

How were they ever allowed to do this!

Why would 'they' not be allowed to do this? :smt017

[arcdef]

ok on reflection its no different to looking on google maps normally and seeing cars parked on a drive, i retract my statement!

[gettin2dizzy]

Mine too!

But I don't live there anymore.

[Paul the 6th]

just found my house on it, I can see what looks like a vauxhall vectra in the window and it looks as though it has a meaty roof rack on the top?

So they're just driving round photographing everything then? That's going to take quite a while!

[Paul the 6th]

Turns out they're using astra's

[Alpinestarhero]

mine is in full view...and i dont like that. its parked on a driveway. and i dont like that the image is sprawled over the internet for someone to have a good look at my bike

[Paul the 6th]

hmmmm, luckily the picture of our house was taken before we moved in (end of october) so luckily there's no cars, or garage door left open (like I did last week with bike in full view)

[carty]

Surely you've put some pics up on here of your bike? :smt017 :D

[SoulKiss]

You can find my Zed where I park it for work.

One of the guys here was looking at his house and in one shot you can see his Mrs opening the patio doors.............

They DO blur out faces and numberplates.

[captainsmelly]

Why are people not so happy about their bike/car being visible on t'net?
Yes a thief could spend months trawling through these maps street by street looking for their target and then they would know that say an SV was parked outside someone's house in like November, but surely any half sensible dodgy type would know that on most streets, at most times, people sometimes park bikes and cars..
Now I like my bike a lot, but I doupt anybody is going to go too far out of their way to nick it, lets face it, it's hardly the most desirable model around

[tigersaw]

I chased after them last year after their car came onto my private property. I live on a privately owned road, and wait to see what I can do if / when they publish the pictures.

Sounds like you had a gang of around 5-6 fella's chase you over a wing mirror yesterday? Theiving scum won't give a shizzle whether it's a measley v-twin or a big litre sports bikes etc... it's an object which is quite desirable and will sell sharpish...

It's not likely that people will spend ages trawling the net looking for bikes nearby, but it's like these internet security experts we get on the news telling us not to put our full names, mobile numbers & photos on facebook cos someone will steal our identity. If there's pictures of sportscars or motorbikes (or other desirable property) at locations which are easy enough to find, who's to say that a burglar/theif won't steal something after having seen it on street view?

Interesting times ahead...

Speak for yourself... CURVY OWNER! :laughat:

ah it makes sense now! I think I'd park mine with the keys in the ignition if it was a curvy... :razz:

[captainsmelly]

You two willies can shut right up. Bully! Bully!

[Paul the 6th]

Let's nack him dizzee, I know where he lives, I found it on street view! :razz:

[gettin2dizzy]

Hehehe. We'll just spill some salt on his bike. It'll be gone by morning :lol:

[captainsmelly]

Now that hurts when I've just spent a couple of hours with a tube of autosol and some wire wool!

[joshmac]

Ignore it. It's amazing what jealousy does to some people :smt043

[dizzyblonde]

har har, they don't have a street thingy for my address yet, but I'll be sure YC's old crate is on the dirve instead of mine.
Funny thing is, we just googled Im Indoors old address and Suzy is sat on his drive....I must have been visiting!

[Lucas]

I hardly use that bike bay, maybe once a week, what are the odds :D

Just found out you can zoom in too, she is looking so shiny :riding:

About 1 in 7. (In fact it's considerably less now cos I've had it stripped down to parts and got it listed on fleabay).

:D:D:D

[Tiger 55]

Only half our street got done, not including our house. Don't we feel like the poor relations :-(

[Sid Squid]

They DO blur out faces and numberplates.

I just had a nose round and you're right, most number plates are fuzzed.

Not all though - not by a long way. I found five clearly readable number plates within a minute.

You could do the community minded thing and use the link on the page to report it to them so they can fix that :)

Couple of the guys at work managed to spot themselves (they had seen the car go by) and another guys g/f was pictured standing outside her work.

In all cases the faces are blurred
