You have probably taken great pains to properly locate yourself on the map. Additionally, the "someone" does an appraisal district search in the map area for last names starting with "D". Your name comes up. Off to Google street view, and there is your house with your RV sitting in the drive! "Someone" prints off a map to your house, drives by and sure enough you are gone.

I could continue, but I bet you have an idea already. I'll say this, even Google Street View has pictures of the house and block I formerly owned in Wagoner, OK! Besides, don't count on Google being that secure. You are your best security.
