Woman Sets Fire to Office to Get Out of Work Early

This is a double WTF. Firstly the obvious. Seriously lady, you lit your place on fire just to leave work early?!? But also, the news paper reporting this story gave her exact home address. Is this common? What gives them the (moral) right to do that?

Triple WTF.

This happened at an Oxygen company. Oxygen+flames=Not good

A bit odd for them to publish it, but it's probably publicly-available information via court documents, or phonebook.

If she's spending 9 months in jail, I guess that isn't really her address anymore.

You can't get a street view of her house, but judging from the overhead shot, it doesn't appear to be in the high-rent district of Florida.

Although a plot of land that size in most of Orange County (CA) would make that a million dollar property.

And what's with purple roof of the place on Royal Palm Avenue (upper left corner of the view linked above)?

I think the purple might be some sort of photographic anomaly. The building to the west has a weird purple glow on its north side, and that red truck looks a little too red. I think something weird happened to the colors in that image.

Yeah, it is an anomaly. If you look at the street view of the "purple roof" house, it looks more blue (with a tinge of red in it). Looks relatively nice from street view.

And apparently I was trying to get a street view of the perp's house based on the DRIVEWAY. You can get a true street view of the actual address.

Not that anyone cares at this point.

While it wasn't the building I work in, this one hits too close to home.

Yikes! Scary. Do you guys have any precautions against things like that happening?
