I can see the bins are out so its a business day. If I know the suburb I will know what day that is. I can pan around and see what driveways and carports have cars in them. Couldnt do this from sattelite pics but now you can. So I can pick a street where I now reasonably know who will likely be home and who will not...... Not happy about this at all. I certainly wasnt consulted before they stood in 5 different spots all around my front yard and panoramic snapped my windows, doors, car, observatory, gates...shall I go on. Thanks Google, for making my place an easier target.
Almost all the imagery on google earth is old, and it may only be updated once every few years. The street view data they put up was captured over the last year or so, so there is no sense of this being 'live' information that is useful. If a theif wants to risk casing a joint because the owner left their bin out 6 months ago then they'd be taking a big risk!
