Apparently there are security concerns with the new Google street view recently released in Australia. I don’t really see an issue with this but …..

One collegue suggested that if some one wanted to rob your house they could use street view and the already available satelite view to effectively plan the robbery well in advance, giving them a greater chance of success. I guess I can see this as a valid point. However if someone is looking to rob your house in such detail they are A. going to have access to a reasonable computer set up with broadband and B. know that you have something worth stealing inside your home. I think with most home invasions it is just a quick attempt to get their hands on some cash and not normally a whole planned out production.

Another concern was from Natalie McKenzie of Tarragindi, “I think if they’re taking photos of your home they should ask for permission,” she said. “If a single mum was estranged from her husband there would be an issue there. I’ve got a girlfriend who wouldn’t want her husband to see where she’s living.” (reference news.com.au)

Thank you Natalie, clearly another Rhodes Scholar. Unfortuantely there are only 3 McKenzies listed as residing in the Tarragindi area and none of them list as an N. McKenzie. So it looks like I will have to drive around aimlessly looking for her house or use the new street view function on google to not be able to see her house. Either way Natalie should be very concerned. NIFF!!!!!!!
