Last fall we made a 4 day trip in Northern New Brunswick and Gaspesie. While stopped in Dalhousie for an ice cream cone I saw the Google car drive by... and yes they took a picture of the van!!!

I'm curious why so many of the vehicles, especially the vans have the front wheels blurred out ! ?
Faces and licence plates I understand, but what does the front wheel tell anyone?

I know, right? At least blur the RR, that's the ugly one.

I have also seen curb-side house numbers blurred out, maybe it gets confused with one of those things.

That's been a phpBB bug seemingly forever. The easy way to get around it is to provide a 'tinyurl' or equivalent...

... so the above has become http://tinyurl.com/speer-vanagon

you can email google and request to have your home blocked from view. did it, and soon many of my neighboors did the same once they knew they could do it. dont let google streetview allow thieves to scope out your property from the comfort of the prison library computer room.
