A FURIOUS wife has called in divorce lawyers after spotting her husband’s car parked outside another woman’s house — on Google.
She saw the Range Rover while using the internet giant’s new Street View service to snoop on a female friend’s home.
The hubby had claimed he was away on business, but his missus recognised his motor immediately because of its blinged-up hubcaps.
The love cheat is not the only husband trapped by Google’s controversial new 360-degree photo search which covers 25 cities and towns throughout the country.
Top media lawyer Mark Stephens said: “I was talking about the Range Rover case when another divorce lawyer came up to say his firm was dealing with the same sort of thing. People are getting caught out on Google.
“I suspect the husband’s lawyers will claim it was an invasion of privacy that will cost him his marriage and Range Rover.”
Street View has triggered a stream of complaints from people caught on camera since its launch on March 20.

do you have any idea the chances of getting caught right when the google car is driving around? amazing that this has happened. i checked my place today. i’m not in the shot. hard to tell when the pics were taken. could have been a couple years ago.
Does she know that the pictures are not real time? Could be a year old.
Actually, you're thinking of the probabilities backwards. It's a virtual certainty that driving around with cameras pointing all over the place Google is going to catch a large number of illicit events going on.
I happened to stroll past this (former) Bennigan's near DFW this evening. "Sorry, we're closed", read the sign on the door. The sign on the poll (see link) was missing, but the poll was still there.
who ya gonna believe, google or your lyin’ eyes?
Just wow. That means its been going on for over a year, or at least a year ago. And how does that change anything?
“The missus recognized his motor immediately because of its blinged-up hubcaps”...
Sounds like a black hubby.
‘Baby! You know I only love you!!! You, baby, you!”
Off topic - Pistol packen Mama was the name of my dad's plane back in WW2. Brought him home safe.
Maybe, she clearly thought something was wrong to begin with, and suspected the “friend” but this is mighty slim evidence to call the divorce atty.
It would literally require him to be at the home, when Google drove by, and then uploaded in time to discover his car out front on the same “out of town on business” period.
Not bloody likely.
violating the ten commandments. he should be glad he doesn’t live in saudi land.
Am I the only one that sees the threat when the Big O takes over Google, and can invokes Muslim principles of his fellow muslims and uses them against the Rushes of this world.

It’s a brave new world.
Simple enough to solve: don’t cheat.
I'm wondering if said furious wife ever drove her husband's car - and whether she ever parked that blinged-out Range Rover by her friend's house. She herself might be responsible for the SUV's presence at that address.
If anyone googles up Catherine Zeta-Jones’ house, yes, I admit, that is my car out front.
Whatever car it is.
You caught me!
SUV’s drive themselves. I wouldn’t put it past one to set up its owner. They are evil.
Near as I can tell, the Google car passed down our street on a Tuesday, late morning, late last Fall or early Winter.
