Why You Should Blur Your House on Google Street View

You've probably looked at your house Google Earth. Virtually walking down your street to see the neighborhood. Initially, you might have thought it was pretty cool. But to someone looking to break houses, those images give the bad guys a lot of information to help them decide which house to hit. Google sends its Street View cars down every street in America. That means almost every home is viewable by anyone going to Google Earth or Google Maps. "We have seen instances where people have used Google Earth to identify neighborhoods they want to hit. Particularly car burglaries and car thefts." Police investigative commander Scott Ryan tells me, bad guys can effectively case a house without raising suspicions by driving down the street. Think about what is visible in those pictures. They can see what cars are in the driveway, is there a dog in the backyard? " That could provide information so they know where floodlights are. The accessibility of windows and doors. They know if there are bushes or tree lines that can hide their approach or getaway." it might not necessarily make your house an easy target. But the criminals might skip your house if they can't see it first. If this is a concern, you may want to make things more difficult for the bad guys by blurring out your house from Google Street View. To do that, search for your address on Google. Place the little yellow man icon on the street in front of your house, frame it up in the red box. You can ask Google to blur out your house and driveway. and click "report a problem". When it asks why, choose "Misplaced image". Google will contact you by email for more information. There really isn't a good reason for your house to be pictured on Google. Keep in mind, it's a good idea to check it from time to time as Google updates images of all streets fairly frequently.
