She and her daughter were home (and asleep) at the time! Of course... it had nothing to do with Google Street View but I can't help but wonder if this sort of access will give rise to even more crime... offering those with the inclination... the technological edge to "case the joint" in a far off distant neighbourhood... from the comfort of their own (or someone else's previously stolen) computer screen!

Drowsey Monkey, this is day one in Australia! Google street view was just released yesterday. Dina : that is a good idea, check out all the places you used to live. I'm not really sure what I think of it. Most of the kids in my classes had checked out their houses yesterday so there must have been huge traffic on Google Maps!
