Need a place to cool off this summer? You could always visit one of those public pools, which are teaming with children's pee and, worse, children. Or you could turn to Google Earth, which will helpfully identify your neighbor's swimming pools courtesy satellites floating around the planet. Then, when you find one that's deep enough for canon balls, you can alert your friends on Facebook that you're planning a pool party at someone else's home, like these jerks in Britain. The technology is also helpful for locating trampolines, bouncy houses, and Slip'N'Slides that don't belong to you, too.

I find the comments accompanying this article to be particularly telling. The first two are from Brits. The second is from, quelle surprise, an American.
Skateboarders used to do a similar thing back in the seventies, of course the interweb wasn't about back then so they used to slowly drive round with someone standing on the roof of a car looking for pools to skate. They used to take a pump and drain out pools if necessary. This was in places like Santa Monica though, you wouldn't have found many pools driving around Northampton back in the seventies.

Trespassing isn't a criminal offence as long as the trespasser isn't causing any damage…

TOO BAD YOU BRITS CAN'T OWN GUNS (emphasis added). One shot fired into the night sky and your trespassers would be off like a scalded dog.
