I've had my insurance company take photos of my place from the road without telling me. For their records I suppose.

Yeah... But... Every house... Up one side of the street and down the other... Unmarked silver pick up... Hand held little camera... He'd pause just long enough to snap the pic. Dunno. It's probably lucky for him I didn't catch up to him, lol. My husband just had his backpack stolen out of our pickup the other night, so I'm on extra alert.

If they're not breaking the law, then people are free to do whatever they want. Shocking, I know.

I wonder if some one could copy right the likeness of their house? putting out some pink flamingo style copy right style yard art may be fun as well

I wonder... I mean, no one can use your house facade to market things, right? I mean, sure if it's a model, they built it, etc., but to drive by, snap a pic and then you see it in an ad somewhere... Is that allowed?

We used zillow a few weeks ago just to get an idea of what my mom's properties in Calif may be worth.... they were off 15-20% (on the high side) from the realtor's comps and mortgage company's comps too. Not saying it's wrong but I am not sure how they calculate their info.

Don't worry about it. It's probably just an undercover cop documenting the houses on the street so they have it for the pre-raid briefing when they serve the warrant.

Some gal in a white rental suv took a photo of my front yard a couple months ago, including my adorable dogs! I was like, OH she must think our yard and dogs are pretty. I never thought of it in a negative light. lol I waved and smiled at her. Maybe I should be less trusting, but that's just not who I am.
