Too true - if I google the street where I live it is clear it was done
by them maybe six, seven years ago, based on knowing the street well.
Also on a nearby street, there was a man washing his car in his
driveway, he clearly noticed the google car and gave it the bird, it's
still there, you would have thought they would have removed that!
