Used to take my car (as did many colleagues) to Dan's garage down in Leith, so typical of the man... ๐Ÿ™‚

I've looked along Giles St and can't find it. Is it still up on Streetview?

A garage owner has apologised for staging a scene that looked like a murder in an Edinburgh street, which was caught on Google Street View.

FFS. It's Google, or the bulb who complained, who should apologise.

@eckinspain - right at the S/W end where it meets - Henderson Street.?

Do a 180 spin after the car passes, you can see the two pranksters get up and saunter back to the garage.

LOL. As it happens I was passed by the google car walking into town at lunchtime. It wasn't high on my list to fake a murder though. How long does it take to go live on street view? I ask not for the clear fame that awaits, but there was an apparently pretty lady about 50yds ahead of me, too far for me to catch up and check out without appearing like a perv, now I can do it on street view once it gets uploaded.

That's worse, isn't it ๐Ÿ˜ณ
