Using Google Maps for Evil - Spotting Empty Pools for Trespassing
Spotting Empty Pools for Trespassing

Oh those clever kids! Daily Mail reports that 500 were part of a Facebook group geared at using Google Earth to plan trespassing pool parties.

Of course the owners of the home know nothing about the party until they return to find a pool full of beer cans and love socks.

In the invitation, partiers are encourage to “bring a bike” for a quicker get-away. Who told those kids to get outside and have some fun anyway, huh?

Although there were only 16 confirmed participants at the 'event', invitations were sent to more than 500 users on Facebook. Comments left by admirers of the group suggested that the craze could be spreading. One message reads: 'You crazy lot and your crazy antiks (sic). Don't think I can make it but maybe I can do it on my own in London.' (dailymail)

Problems: Owners inside house? Owners have party inside house? Owners etc au natural around Pool at time? Kids dont Zoom to make sure No one around Pool @ time? Otherwise Invasion of Privacy since they can use Zipcode etc to Trace Home address. Very scary. Bad omen. IE murder-suicide, killings? IE owners, guests by rampaging "guests" onto pool area? Scary
