- fxtentacle 5y agoNowadays you can just rent a Chinese military satellite for the few minutes that it'll be above your house. You'd be surprised at their resolution ;) Of course, there's also publicly available US offerings like "SecureWatch® is the premier cloud-based subscription service for secure and timely access to Earth Intelligence, simplifying your ability to map, monitor and detect change for any location on the globe at a moment’s notice." EDIT: Found the price info for satellite rental again. $6300 per 30 seconds at 15cm per pixel resolution.
- danuker 5y agoDetecting that your house is gone is pointless. A satellite photo does not show you who demolished it.
- MayeulC 5y agoIt tells you when, though. And could give some cues like vehicle paths.
- na85 5y agoPeople demolishing your house while you're gone is a social problem and requires a social solution. Being a good neighbor is how you solve this problem.
- konschubert 5y agoI agree with the first part of what you said, but regarding the second part: We don’t know that he was a bad neighbor and even if he was, that’s not a reason to demolish someone’s house.
- fxtentacle 5y agoYou can't really be a good neighbor if you don't show up for 8 years.
- kolp 5y agoPeople demolishing your house is a criminal act. Your proposed solution implies that the victim was somehow to blame for this crime, by not being a good neighbour.
