Google Earth Helps UK Teens' Summertime Craze: Pool Crashing

I wonder if you can see an electrfied fence and attack dogs from space...

UK Teens... some of the most intelligent people in the world

LOL, Neatoramawont... I thought the same thing.

Where's Alex pool? ;p

I am not in the least surprised that the Internet has found yet another way to help people be obnoxious. When I was growing up, I lived in one town but went to school in the next. As a result, the kids in the town I lived in gave me a hard time and accused me of being a snob when in fact I had nothing to do with the reasons I attended school elsewhere.

Anyway, we had a trampoline. We would get home later in the day due to the fact our mom was a schoolteacher. Inevitably there would be kids jumping on our trampoline by the time we got home, sometimes even kids we didn't know, almost certainly the kids who wouldn't play with us because we didn't go to school with them. One time, we even found the kids with a bicycle up on the trampoline, apparently trying to bounce while riding a bike. We're very lucky no one ever got hurt.

I believe the phrase is "attractive nuisance." Yards with pools can have locked fences, "No Trespassing" signs, and yet if one of these little darlings gets hurt or drowns, call the lawyers!

Google Earth / Google maps badly needs an "opt out" policy, where people can have their homes blocked out.

I will organize a party in my pool after adding acid in it.

keep a sign beside the pool and outside the door "Electrified pool"..

I'm sorry, but thats freakin awesome! I would hate to be the home owner that comes home to that mess, but come on, the idea is ingenious!

This is why you should have pool cams. Record each of those teens so you can press charges later.

@Morgan...

Awesome? Are you a total idiot, or just an ass?

Morgan's got a point. If that's what you're going to do, Google Earth is a good way to find suitable pools. Sure, you're trespassing, vandalizing, and generally being a nuisance to society, but if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
