Where I am, of 18 houses, 3 houses are missing altogether (missing as
houses, not just numbers), 4 of the remaining 15 have the correct number
within the box, and 2 have the wrong number from somewhere else used
instead. A further 3 numbers are scattered around the road. One of
those scattered numbers does match the sign at the end of a driveway
saying "numbers X and Y are down here", so StreetView might definitely
be implicated there. Maybe the remaining errors are down to "bored
captcha fillers-in having a laugh"? :)
Best Regards,
Andy
