9. Fake Murder
In 2014, users of Google Street View noticed a particularly gruesome scene at a location in Edinburgh. The image shows one man lying on the floor apparently dead while another is seen wielding a large axe. One concerned user informed the police who went to investigate, finding the two people responsible at a local garage. The two mechanics had apparently seen the car used by Google in the area and had staged the event as a practical joke for when it came down the street where their garage is located. Having posed for the photograph in 2012, they had completely forgotten about it by the time it was uploaded months later.
