Gang of villagers chase away Google car

From CNN. "Google's ambitious plan to offer a 3-D street level view of communities across three continents hit a snag when angry residents of a UK village blocked the search engine's camera car from photographing their homes."

Not so much a "gang" as a few irate villagers. But worth noting the ever-increasing intersection between google's goal of omnipresence and personal privacy.

The same information, and a related post from the Map Room about the future of Street View.

OMG ! Blocking the cameras is going to get them exactly the kind of attention they were trying to avoid. It is called Streisand effect. You can find more about Streisand effect on Wiki
