Google Maps Street View photographs scenes from all over the world as it maps the planet. Often, as the Google car covers the streets across the globe, it catches some interesting scenes. Those that go viral often depict people in bizarre, entertaining or alarming positions. These two men snapped on a roadside in Pennsylvania, USA are no exception.
A Google Maps Street View photo has captured the pair standing next to a car in Pittsburgh.
It would seem the men had very much hoped to not be seen, given their pose.
They look to be getting up to a very suspicious activity that would certainly shock many people.
Although they are standing next to the vehicle, it appears as though it does not belong to them.
This is because it looks, to all intents and purposes, as though they are trying to break into the car.
Each is holding a tool which they seem to be jabbing into the car door in an attempt to unlock it.
However, they had not bargained for the appearance of the Google Maps car, it could be argued.
Although Google has blurred their faces out, they are both looking up at the camera.
It would appear they are aware they have been caught in the middle of an illegal activity.
However, there’s no knowing what happened after the men spotted the Street View car.
It’s possible the car passed on by and they continued with their misdemeanour. Or perhaps they ran away from the scene of the crime.
The Street View user is simply left to guess at what could have ensued after the photo was taken.
Of course, it’s possible one of them did own the car but had lost the keys hence why they were trying to open it.
The men are not alone in being snapped at a rather inopportune time – Google Street View is a wealth of such content.
For instance, one man in Sheffield, UK fell foul of Google Maps when he was caught spying on his neighbours.
He was snapped standing in a driveway looking over a wall into next door’s garden.
