My car is missing !
« on: August 24, 2019, 09:54:55 PM »
I diddle around with satellite maps and street views of various places, notably where I've lived in all these years.  Just for grins, I usually hover over my present domicile just to kind of look around.

 About a month ago I discovered they had taken a satellite view just as I had a huge black trash bag sitting on my car's hood so I could bring it to the dumpster.

The notable thing about that was I must have been in the car at that exact moment since I carry the bag out, park it on the hood, get in the car, and off I go to the dumpster and then on to my errands.

If I had known, I would have waved !

So today I was poking around and my car was missing!  After two years of seeing it out there in the satellite view, this time I must have been out erranding at that moment.

Kind of amusing, but in a darker sense, just a little bit spooky, too, since that kind of detail can be ascertained.

Cue "Twilight Zone" theme...  

Yes, I looked out the back door to make sure it was there right now.  It is.  =D

I've found my Jeep parked at work on Google maps but the images of the home compound are at least 4 years old.
The image with my Jeep is less than a year old.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

What I find weird is that the Google Maps app on my ipad has different satellite images than the google.com/maps website.
