Find your street on maps.google.co.uk
then pick up the little orange guy (top left above the zoom control) and drop him where you want to look (the roads are highlighted where this works).

I wonder how many people are checking out their houses out of interest and notice their partners car and someone elses car parked outside their house

I checked out a house i own in bolton, theres police and ambulance outside, and someone cabbaged on the pavement! I wondered where the tenant had got to! And if you zoom in, the lot disappears.

How do you save a screenshot?

I can remember them driving around our car park at work quite a long time ago, I think early last year. Wonder why they have put everything on at once rather than adding it as they have processed it?

They blur them to avoid being sued if a car is cloned, and to avoid any legal problems with cars/people outside brothels/skiving off work etc.

I believe they will manually fix a numberplate/face blurring problem if you click the report a problem tag at the bottom of the picture and tell them what your concern if (privacy for example).
