Thank you, Google, for stealing my lot!
A friend from Calgary posted that he found himself on Google maps. Knowing that the Google spy-camera-car came through my neighborhood not so long ago, I wanted to see if they updated the site. They have updated the maps with their own map data (not from Navteq) but the street-view pictures are still old. Then I noticed something.
You can see a line that extends the alley from behind my house, through my old garage and our driveway to Washington street. Sorry guys, that's not an alley. It's a private drive, my driveway. Private land that I pay property tax on. In fact, I'm in the process of fencing it off.
The Indianapolis GIS map shows this pretty clearly.
Google lets you submit problems as you find them, so I submitted this to them.
Hopefully we don't have people trying to drive through our driveway in the interim.

I’d be more worried about them going right through the garage, if I were you.

The garage is no-more. It’s an old satellite/aerial photo.
