Have you tried looking at your house on Google's street view lately? If it wasn't on there before, it may be on there now.
It appears that the Google Street View gnomes have been hard at work adding new neighborhoods to their Street View collection. I recently logged onto the Google Street View website and learned that my house is online! Just a couple weeks ago when I checked...no luck. The interesting part is, I'm able to determine the approximate time that they came by, thanks to my recent front yard remodel.
Just go to Google Maps, and select the Street View button. All the blue highlighted streets are available for viewing. You never know what you might find on there. Here is a link to some interesting sightings on Google Street View.
