Google recently updated street view. How many minis can we find?

This is mine that a friend found when he was looking up and down his street.
Shes changed a fair bit since this was taken!

Edit: I really didn't think I was causing a security risk.. I obviously don't advise putting a picture of your car where it is normally parked with an address on it! Although the picture I posted has a road name I am rarely there. I was more talking about minis that you have found out and about just whilst browsing street view. A screenshot like mine is no different to some of the posey pictures we post on here of our pride and joys.

Couldnt find mine, but a short trip down the road revealed a hidden secret I hadnt noticed before....

Time for the old business card through the door me thinks.

I can't reccomend enough that you remove these images and replace them with one where you have removed the address from the image. You're making it very easy for the people who steal cars to order. You're pretty much giving them a catalogue to look through and telling them where to find their new items!

Search for Col de Turini on street view, next to the hotel there are about 20 Minis from the Mini Cooper Register sitting in the car park

As advised above DO NOT POST ANY PICTURES WITH ADDRESSES ON. There has been another thread on here like this already and the evening after one member posted their picture with the address on some pikey scum stole his custom roofrack.

Except the fact that you've included the address at which the vehicle was found?

Also, if you're going to post pictures of other peoples cars on street view, again, definitly blur the address. If my car was stolen and I found out someone had posted a picture of it with the address at which it was kept at on the public domain, I would not be happy. Maybe it could even be said that by doing so, you've assisted in that theft? I don't know the logistics of the legal system but you should remove the address just out of respect for that persons property.

It doesn't take a minute and then everyone is safer and happier .

Thankyou those who have removed the street names and addresses.
