Google Maps Immortalizes TP Prank
August 11th, 2008 by Matt
I saw a story yesterday about Google Street View capturing a house on fire. Hopefully the neighbors didn’t think the decked-out Google Street View car had anything to do with the arson. They can always just ask the driver.
I was recently showing somebody the pure awesome that is Google Street View. I loaded Huntsville, AL, and clicked the Street View button. “You see all these blue-outlined streets? Just click any of them, and you can see what it looks like from the street.” I clicked a random spot on the map, and it just happened to be next to a house that got rolled.

Digg, if that’s your thing.

I have a friend at work that is a little paranoid about all things internet. I sent him an email link to a view of his house with street view. I didn’t get quite the level of reaction I was looking for, but I bet he secretly has nightmares about it.
Cool find.
