Anyone been "caught" by google earth?

It all depends on when that satellite or car goes by.

I mean, with the details, you can about see an orange hat in a tree it seems. Mowing your yard? = caught. Fishing on your boat? = caught. Putting Trash by the curb? = caught

The only place I can figure we are "safe" from Google Earth are either

A. Turkey or Archery hunting
B. Inside a building (probably not for long)
C. deep under water.

I was in a snowball conversation recently that started with one guy who rode his motorcycle alongside the google car, to others decribing where they'd been "caught", to several folks actively looking for themselves.

I admit, though I waited until that evening, I checked out my own likely locations myself. I am shocked to say, it took LESS THAN 8 minutes to find a picture of myself, taken by the google camera :mad: They can fade out the face, but there is no mistaking the physique a certain % of our population has arisen to!

Anyone want to guess generally speaking where I was "caught"? I took my brother 3 guesses :skeerd: It took my wife 2 :mad: (NEITHER guessed "church?")


Anyone else able to locate themselves on Google Earth?

My wife and I appear at a rental.

I like seeing the drug deals caught on camera. I've found 2 of those.

My wife has. Was Easter morning and you can see a someone wearing pink standing next to the car. I use to joke that, "my wife is so big,you can see her from space!" Some people just don't have a sense of humor!:skeerd:

I have been caught, I was pulling the trash can to the street and there I was with my son. My truck was parked there as well and you could see my face and my license plate number. Took about 2 weeks to get a reply from google to fix it. they removed the frames where I was standing and blurred my licence plate.

I found my work truck, and figured I was in the building working.




But knowing myself, I figured if the car came by between 9-9:30, 11-12, or 3-3:30 of the workday, there was a goooood chance I could be "found" at 1 of 2 locations.

Sure enough :mad:
