    Same article...
    I'm not worried about mine. If someone gets a good look they'll figure it's a waste of their time. This is a rich people problem. :argh:

    Likewise. Just leave my model train collection alone.

    You have a model train collection. Tell me more. Where do you live? :)

    At the risk of derailing this topic i will only mention Lionel (Legacy) and MTH (wireless systems).

    Quickly back On Topic. It's expected that Google Maps eventually would offer that option where user's would be appreciative of it.

    Sounds nice.

    Back on track. Folks should not have to request this, it should be blurred by default. Especially private residences.

    They blur faces and license plates. Why not homes.
