WebSonic : it's not a fake!!! It's true!

Juha-Matti Finally you can see this village on Street View, except a small censored area

Oh, my, the violence of it, the HORROR!!!!!.

"[...] Furthermore, the person let out the air of a tire of this Opel vehicle. (...) Perhaps in order not to cause danger on the road to the driver of the vehicle, the unknown has also left a handwritten note under the windshield wipers, bringing attention to the flat tire.”
