It's creepy to know that anyone from anywhere can see your house. If they have your address, all they have to do is go into Google Maps and type it in and the next thing you know there is your home. It's a stalker's dream.

Now don't get me wrong, it's not real-time, you would need some pretty crazy spy stuff to get real-time satellite imagery, but it's still a picture of your house. These pictures get updated yearly or at the most every couple of years.
