My house is the one with the black window frames and 'For Sale' sign outside. I'm at work right now, if anyone wants to go round and rob me.

Oh hey, Oxford streetview!
Which goes no further west than the station, so I can't invite you all to spy on my work. Not that you'd want to.
I accidentally ended up outside my GP's surgery when trying to drag the icon to somewhere a couple of blocks away from it, and am relieved to note that I am not pictured coming out of the door clutching pamphlets about embarrassing conditions or anything.

The camera seems to be going mental around ledge's place--side-on and close to the google van on both sides it's all distorted, all around the streets in that area

Actually, it's like that all over the UK: software seems to have done a bad job editing out the van.

I think its funny you guys are all "omg this is creepy" - when streetview debuted in Aus last year everyone I knew was completely "OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER LOOK THERES MY HOUSE!" at work and productivity went to zero for about 4 hours.

if anything i think the widespread acceptance, even excitement, is more disturbing than the actual photos - i don't assume my flat will be burgled or that i'll be stalked b/c of it (though if i'd had stalker problems ever i'd be petrified about it) - it just transgresses a basic expectation of privacy for me. ok, any random lunatic could take pictures of my flat and put them on flickr or whatever, but that would still be indefensibly creepy, and this just makes the creepiness so much more official. it's awful.

People taking pictures of your flat would only be creepy if they are doing it because they wanted to take a picture of your flat for no reason (or for personal reasons to you)?

Beats me! They're not very common in this entire suburb.
A lot of the families here are Orthodox Jewish, and have tons of kids who all run around through each other's yards, so maybe that's part of it? We're going to put up a small fence or hedge, though.

This is all I want to do all day.
Was greatly helped in one round by the truck that said a company name and "SCOTLAND" on it. Guessed outskirts of Glasgow, but it was Aberdeen.
Was very proud of guessing w/in 100 km of a place in Argentina b/c it looked arid and the truck in the picture was a Mercedes.
