Default Spotted!

Google's Street View launched in the UK today. Cue loads of trawling round looking in windows to spot some dodgy occurings.

Anyway, there is an s2k twist to this. I've spotted seven s2ks on there already. Anyone else seen one?

[EDIT]In the linked page they're hidden behind a bush You'll guess where

Although this is a fun bit of kit this can be quite dangerous for us.
These images are fairly recent and it is quite easy for a car thieves to use this to locate our pride and joys

They took the pic in my street the week after my S was nicked. I can tell because all the insurance could give me was a Punto for the first week and that's what they have in their photo.

Makes me glad - if it wasn't the Punto my S would have been parked up. Then again, it was missing for having been stolen already.....
