Any more questions ?
 
It looks like they put it down on purpose and then back up on the other side...
 
Something doesn't add up. the first image where you're looking at the sky, there's a big ass crack running right thru the middle of the image. Yet He's still a good distance from the bridge. Then there's no more crack in the rest of the images.
 
Not sure I like the whole googlestreetview, I looked up my house a while back and my front door is wide open, too bad my American Bulldog "DeBo" wasn't in the doorway that would have would have made a thief look else where. Thieves could look up an address and pretty much figure out how to break in without being seen.

That is quite possible as well...

Note that you can drag the image 360° the street "centerline" is still trying to follow the compass heading, while the image itself you get the side walls, sky and deck lid of the car, on the other side of the overpass, you see the pipes crossing as well.

seeing one of the cars in person may actually help explain a few things

When they filmed our neighborhood it was done by a strange woman walking slowly taking pictures w/a normal digital camera. It almost looked like a tax assessor or someone casing the neighborhood. We were outside at the time wondering what she was doing. Now we know and now we are on google. They should warn people in residential areas so home owners can be a little prepared should they choose to be, think about trying to sell a house that has a bad picture on google.

Really?
Did you ask her, cause they were supposed to only be using the car. The funny part, the car's driver can't turn off the images being taken.
(Yea, they folded it down, but still funnier to picture it hitting)

This one used to show them pulling in to get gas:

Even got the back of the guys head as he was getting out, but they fixed that one. :(

I suspect you were really seeing a realtor that was taking pictures of a neighborhood for a client...or possibly the assessor for the county though they use aerial shots usually.

Yep, it was defiantly her taking pics for Google. I know because I was checking out my new easy-up tent in the driveway when we saw her and I would defiantly have remembered a car w/a camera rig on top.
 
So google streetview for your house shows you in the driveway setting up the tent?

I know ours shows in one scene my garage door up and my old jeep in it. (Corner lot) when going down the other street my garage door is now closed / we apparently had just left. (Don't remember seeing them though)

How do you get to google street view? I can only seem to get maps.

Not every location has a street view. Sometimes there's a STREET VIEW button in the upper RH, sometimes you have to keep zooming in on the upper LH. the last zoom-in goes from map to street view.
