I don't know if anyone here has tried out the newish Google 'Streetview' but the couple of times I've gone looking for things I've found it quite cool. I know I'm not the only person with such a view however it seems that there are those who seem to think that if any sort of image of their house appears on such a thing like the "internet" it will become an imediate target to all thieves, robbers and general bad-doers.
Such people can be found in the village of Broughton in Buckinhamshire woh when they saw the purveyors of this magic called "technology" came out and blocked the progress of the car, called the police and accused Google of facilitating crime. They had no problems with the outsides of their houses to be shown to the whole population of the country on the BBC lunchtime news and on the BBCi as seen here: BBC
And those of you who actually looked, well, I hope you had your eyes closed or you to were invading their privacy!!
