REAL LIFE NEWS: CHEATING BOYFRIEND BUSTED BY MAP PICTURES

by Hazed

Google Street View has gone to some pains to obscure personal details in the photos it makes public, blurring faces, car licence plates and so on. But other similar services around the world are not so sensitive to privacy concerns, as a cheating Russian found to his cost.

Yandex Maps is the Russian equivalent of Google Street View. Marina Voinova logged onto the service to check an address in her home town of Perm. But she found more than she was expecting - a picture of her boyfriend Sasha cuddling another woman.

She said, “First I noticed a familiar silhouette. First I thought, ‘how can someone else look so similar to my Sasha?’ I looked more carefully, zoomed in and saw that it was indeed him. I realized that he was lying and cheating on me all this time.”

The couple had been together for five years so it’s no wonder she was upset. She confronted the cheating fiancĂ© and he owned up to the fact that he’d been two-timing her. Actually, the way she challenged him is cunning: she asked him to find the address on the map. “When the unfortunate image loaded, Sasha went pale,” she said. I bet he did. Busted!

The two have now split up.
