Anyway, I was able to read the name of the roofing company that was re-shingling her roof. They put a sign in her lawn. I could also see how they stacked the new shingles up near the ridge of the roof to have them close at hand.

Well, fortunately our cars were parked far enough away that it isn't possible. Our neighbors, who live on the side of the street the camera came up on might not have been so lucky. One car had a plate I could almost read, and might be able to with image enhancement.
The police already use license plate recognition software. I wonder if some private agency could plug into Google's data and do a nationwide search.
