What's on your door that you might not want people to see? I really can't think of anything. (Generally the private things go inside the house...)

What if you have a huge window, or a door that happened to be open right as the street view car drove past? When Google is taking millions of measurements a year they are going to see a lot of unusual events.

The likelihood of a street view car driving past at the same time as you had the door open is so incredibly small. And if you had a giant window why would you be worried about street view car getting a good view inside.

Most thieves are thieves of opportunity. Unless you e got a massive million dollar house they’re not stalking it online.
