Who said that Google Street View can’t be used for anything different than to help you plan your route and get to know the a new city you’re traveling to? In September 2008, a 14-year old boy in the Netherlands was robbed. The police weren’t able to solve the case but luckily for everyone else the thieves have been spotted on Google Street View. Google has kindly unblurred the faces and the police have recognized the two men robbing the boy as they were wanted for similar robberies. You have probably guessed what happened to them. And in case you are robbing people on the street, you should definitely pay more attention to those Google cars. You know, the ones with lots of cameras on top!
