The people of Molfsee, Germany will be happy to know that Google is not interested in their little, piddly town (probably because it is too small) according to the Google source quoted in this article:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/09/30/europe/EU-Germany-Google-View.php. You can't discount this, because in the U.S. there is not much small town coverage - what there is exists because those towns are in close proximity to more populous metropolitan areas. There is some coverage of Street View near small towns from freeways which show us very little of any individual residence. For city folk, it's another story; however, at least in the U.S., the resolution is so crappy I can't see what anyone, big town or small, has to fear.

Really, this is just a lot of nonsense. Criminals can and will continue to drive and walk down streets to find homes against which to commit crimes. Street View is hardly competition for actually viewing homes up close and personal. And if you don't want your house showing up in Street View and you're not willing to get over yourself and your house which holds interest for very few of us, then by all means, ask Google to remove the image.
