I had a double take a few years ago looking in the paper as the picture of the "view" from the block for sale was from my front yard across the park to the lake. The blocks actual location was over the hill looking into a +65 retired demountable village. The agent got a serve from me and actually all the local realtors have had to use the line in bold local/location shot x Min walk
As your vehicle is plastered all over the net for all to see - including vehicle details and your old house, I am not sure what getting this seller to pull the pic down will achieve with respect to your concerns.Quote:

A quick phone call, telling them to expect a letter from our lawyers, and their site was pulled post haste.
It turns out that their web designers decided to take a few short-cuts. However, when you are stealing pictures from a very large, multi-national company, you really do need to be careful about what you do with them.

The only real concern I had, was the principle and courtesy of using my image. I felt that if they where going to take random pictures of the internet to use to sell their product that is fine, but courtesy to me would be to at least black out the number plate irrespective of it can be found elsewhere.
Also, when the seller replied to my question on Ebay saying that yes, it was a vehicle that they did...
And besides, it was a dodgy photo of the D2 only half done :p It could have at least been a good photo...
I'm not worried either way, the guy was nice to deal with and happy to use another photo instead and has.
