This is silly. I took some pictures while in my car in Malba Queens one time so I can match the stucco color for my new coat of stucco on my house. I was there for less than 3 minutes admiring the home and some lady comes running out of the house screaming telling me I can't take pictures of her house. I told her to go back in in her home, which she did and that was the end of that.

If a criminal is going to stalk or case your home he's most likely not going to make it obvious. The most you can do is ask like I have when I saw people taking pictures of my home and it was either my own insurance company, my Realtor's photographer or just an admirer of my nice work!!

"your name?" and it wasn't even his house! and this was between two caucasians...hate to think if my friend was any other race...
So LIers please don't be that guy... Chill out! Google already did it so what's the big deal???
If she told me her intentions, I wouldn't be bothered. But if a stranger just starts snapping pics, I'll ask what they're doing. I have children to worry about. Your friend driving a minivan with kids in it means nothing to me. Since when did being a parent driving a van preclude them from being a potential stalker, kidnapper, murderer? Plenty of moms in prison for killing children.
