  I think I have been photographed by the mapping car atl east 5 times this week.

 They are doing our area at the moment, and as a window cleaner I am obviously out and about around the estates all day. I have seen it coming 5 times now and struck various poses.

 It is possible they have filmed me more times without me knowing.

 Tomorow I will bare my arse if I see it coming and there aren't too many people around.

 Anyone else here been photographed by it yet?

I'm quite pissed off about the whole thing, as I can see my bike outside my house, albeit under a cover.

All it takes is some scrotes to go 'shopping' around the streets to see what they can nick

It's bad enough having to worry about bike security as it is without this new tool to help them.

  I dont think it will help them anymore than walking down the street.

  If it is not an organised gang tailing you to find where your bike is stored, it will be an opportunistic litlle wanker who isn't clever enough to think in advance and plan it.

I can't believe that it's a security threat myself.

I have already found it useful.  I used it to find a location for a meeting and the coffee shop up the road, on the first day it was launched but wasn't aware that it was brand new at the time.

if you dont like it you can click on a link on the page where your house is displayed and tell them to remove it.... they'll then "fuzzy" your property apparently as they do with faces and numberplates
