A nice wall defending against the street. A gate. A driveway cover.

If Osama Bin Laden were alive and living in San Jose, this is a place that he might appreciate.

Which is exactly why the Realtor used (I’m guessing) a Google Street View image of the house. To simulate what you might see from a drone! Can’t get more realistic than this!

Incidentally, here’s the full picture:

What exactly is that thing next to the walkway to the house?

    Missile launcher?

    Anyone got any updates on this whole “San Jose Police no longer respond to alarms” thing? I don’t think OBL would approve if he were in that house!

    #1 – Definitely a missile launcher. It goes well next to the aluminum car cover, which blocks the vehicles from satellite view!

    Note that the Streetview shot says this is Emerick Ave. Perfect for hiding from drones using Google Earth!

    you can zoom the google street view.

    looks like pieces of wood being sent to garbage.

    #4, I think you’re right. Their post light was dismantled. You can see the top (the light) upright on the driveway and the rest appears to the remains of the post.

    It’s an old loveseat sofa, and has nothing to do with the lamp.

    Cool. That Google camera sits pretty high on the car, I’ve seen it around here.

    Do you think the carport icicle Xmas lights come with the house?

    I’ve always wanted a place I could refer to as a “compound”
