Wearing shorts too! Oh dear.

If you move forward/back down the road you can see the bike follows the googlemobile and then eventually overtakes.

Is this anyone from the org? I hope so!

I thought google maps was supposed to block the reg plates
but the number is clear as day on there.
also looked at george white in slough and all the bike number plates there were large as life and readable?
Is that a glitch?

Google street thingy is AWFUL. Shows burglars houses in such details. My house is on there showing no one home during the day but with some upstairs windows left open, haha! :D

And that is any different from said housebreaker walking past your house during the day and seeing all that himself how?

MBK - It's a bit easier to do research without being spotted isnt it?
Ahhhhh. It's lovely looking :)

LOL! Do you think they are going to stand outside your house with a placard saying "I AM SCOPING YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE I WISH TO ROB IT" whilst wearing a black and white strippy top carrying a bag saying "swag" on it?!

Honestly, IMO it doesn't make the blindest bit of difference. Only IMO of course.

Not at all, but when there's 8 houses down your road robbed in one night you'd like to think someone must have been paying attention to when people are likely to be out, and therefore increase the chances of them being caught?

Yep and the only way they could do that is to actually reccy your street. A view from google maps won't tell them that. They would have to actually visit it a few times.

I have to agree with MBK here, streetview doesn't tell you anything more than what you could tell from walking down a street. In fact, it is a lot worse. The info is years old, your window isn't open now is it! Thieves are looking for opportunities, and will not find them on streetview!

Oddly enough I found this on my own the other week, and wondered if it was me, but as soon as I saw the shorts, I knew it wasn't me. What fookin nugget wears shorts on a motorbike...seriously?
