There's no end to the amount of entertainment that Google Maps' Street View provides. I remember when it came out and I thought, cool, I can look at the outside of hotels I'm going to stay in and my house. I didn't dream of the possibilities that could be exploited by a bunch of Google cars until controversy started popping up when it caught some odd and slightly incriminating photos.
I can't get enough of Street View snafus and surprises, so my new favorite website is Google Street View Sightings. It compiles all the odd, fun, cool, and silly things that the 360 degree cameras catch — I was pumped to see Mrs. Doubtfire's house in San Francisco, the hot babes van, and a creepy guy doing dirty deeds!

It's weird to think people think the hot babes thing is so weird. I'm vegas and that's just how it is. haha
1Oh, I saw this some weeks ago and I found it amusing.
2Amazon's A9 search was doing this a few years ago. (They have since shut it down). I loved it to use for directions since I am a visual person.

It's interesting to see what a day on a random street is like.
3my boyfriend found his parked car captured by street view and got all kinds of excited.
4oh my gosh. im totally with you techsugar. i was hooked on this thing for like hours last week. i visited, my moms house, grandma, sister, best friend, aunts, uncles, etc. i thought it was really fun to be able to see the house i grew up in. there is still a lot of areas that are not covered and its too bad the address is not accurate. i was looking for an address with the street number 510 and i had to go up to 550 to actually see the house i was looking for. i'm sure its only a matter of time before the whole country is covered.
5They need to come park on the corner by my house. Sometimes I wonder if I'm on candid camera.
6i have a picture of that truck!!
