Lewis Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 We're not on it yet I can't wait to see if I can spot a Goole van I don't think there will be such a problem with thieves as if they wanted to rob a house, they could just walk past. Surely Google earth would be more of a problem for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 A couple of the shared houses I lived in in Bradford are on there, just had a quick nosey! They haven't covered around here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 My front garden is embarrassingly overgrown and the peeling bit on the front of my house is a bit too visible too . Shame it's a Tuesday morning (bin day!), we were all obviously at work/school . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Apparently someone searched Google Earth for likely properties to steal lead from, and stole thousand's of pounds worth!! I can see my purple eglu!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think I've changed my opinion after chatting to friends and colleagues and reading **This article**. No particular axe to grind re Fred the Shred, but it applies to us all I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I happened to drive nearby Fred the Shred's house yesterday (on the way to pick up a broken shouldered YS ) and saw his car being taken away. Much as I'm not a fan of his, I think that vandalism of his home was a step too far. He has 2 fairly young children (and a wife who presumably is blameless, although reaps the rewards).

Oh no what has YS done to his shoulder? Is he ok? I do think its terrible to attack him in this way. I understand his children have been bullied at school as well. Its not the kids fault is it?

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Fred Goodwin's family should not be subjected to abuse in any way. But he is very naive if he thinks 'the public' will let him get away with moral crimes even if the establishment will let him get away with white collar loophole tricks. There are a lot of people in the world (alas) who think with their fists, and if he's shrewd enough to do what he does for his 'living' he should be shrewd enough to know that some people will have serious and malevolent issue with that.

Guest Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 can you imagine living hand to mouth and seeing him getting away with daylight robbery? I can't feel sorry for him, I wish I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've found that Streetview does have it's uses My neighbours are having a new drive done and their cowboy workmen have actually gone beyond their boundary and dug up and concreted some of my drive Streetview shows the original boundary very clearly so I can hopefully get them to restore things to how they were.
