When Dustin Moore spotted his grandmother sitting casually on the front stoop of her house, he thought he was seeing things. After all, his grandma did pass away last year.

Google Street View has become a treasure chest of accidentally crude street photography, from pooping pedestrians to road-sex photobombs to public handjobs. But now the uncomfortably omniscient Google vehicles have managed to become a part of their own scenery.

This cat was, apparently, cut in half by Google Street View cameras. But the blog from which the image comes—Google Street View World—doesn't provide the coordinates that would allow us to see half cat in his (her?) natural Street View habitat. Where can I find half cat?

You're driving through South Australia along Dukes Highway, just down the road from Keith and District Motorcycle Club, when you suddenly spot the Google Street View car in the offing.

This has got to be the most explicit and NSFW of all oddities discovered on Google Streetview. A prostitute giving a hand job to a "bloke" (that's British for, "prostitute customer" ) in a back alley in Manchester, which seems like a lovely town, by the way. Google took down the images soon after they were spotted by the Google Sightseeing blog, but the incident was memorialized by a troll who renamed the alley "Hand Job Alley" on Google Maps (also removed.) The wonders of crowd-sourcing.

The Russian Google Maps alike Yandex Maps went above and beyond recently when it helped a woman from Perm find out her fiancé was cheating on her.

Back in 2010, Gizmodo predicted that Google Store View — Street View's in-store component — "probably won't result is as many hilarious candids" as its older sibling. Well, it took a minute, but pretty fantastic Google Store View candid has finally been located.

This Google Street View of "113 Suttand Place, Lawrence" seems familiar, doesn't it? That guy is almost recognizable, isn't he? Is it near somewhere you lived? A place you've driven by?

If all news is local, then why aren't all videogames? That seems to be the premise behind Google Shoot View, an incredibly simple new "game" from a Dutch advertising firm. It's your chance to take a fully automatic weapon to an address of your choosing.

German reactionaries have a bizarre new icon: Google. Vandals in the Bergerhausen area of western Germany have egged several houses for opting out of Google Street View, leaving behind notes reading, "Google's cool." Get the message, privacy-hoarding squares?

Google Street View launched today in 20 German cities, but only after privacy-minded Germans forced Google to blur 240,000 houses from their maps. This scene managed to make it through—should really comfort creeped out Germans. [via Reddit]

The FCC is investigating Google for collecting personal Wi-Fi data via its Street View vans. It may be considered criminal eavesdropping.

When 11-year-old Reuben Soames searched for his family's address on Google Maps, he was just looking for a picture of their home. He ended up finding a man apparently in the midst of stealing his family's caravan.

Last week, Google admitted that their Street View cars scooped up emails and passwords from Wi Fi networks as they cruised around. The company is "mortified," and has implemented changes it says will improve data security among its employees.

Who are those blurry, possibly robed figures hovering above a lake in Quarten, Switzerland, visible on Google Street View? Is it something on the camera lens? Or is it maybe... God and His only begotten Son?

Google is letting privacy-minded Germans opt out of Google Street View. But one Street View fan, IT consultant Jens Best, has sworn to photograph every excluded house, then upload them manually to Google Maps. Meet the human embodiment of Google.

In an unprecedented step, Google is letting privacy-sensitive Germans delete pictures of their homes from Google Street View. This is a limited time offer, however. Act now for maximum privacy. But only in Germany. Why?

Google Street View has been known to preserve records of crimes past. Now, a Long Island town is using Google Earth satellite images to go after rule-breakers. Riverhead has busted 250 homeowners for backyard pools constructed without proper permits. Creepy!

Google Street View is a wonderful tool/time-waster, but its pictures aren't always current. This becomes apparent on its movie theater marquees, like the 20 inside this post. Wanna see a Sci-Fi or comedy flick from years ago? You're in luck!
