Roof stolen using Google Earth

A man in London admitted to using Google Earth to scour the roofs of London to find a metal one made with lead.  He then stole the tiles, worth more than a 100,000 pounds.  He was put on probation and made to do community work for his crime.

A friend said,”He sat at home and scoured south London for targets with just a few clicks of the mouse. He homed in on all sorts of buildings – many of them listed.”
