"ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) -- Swiss police said Thursday they stumbled across a large marijuana plantation while using 
Google Earth, the search engine company's satellite mapping software."

The article continues:
"The plantation, measuring almost two acres (7,500 square meters), was hidden inside a field of corn. But officers 
using Google Earth to locate the address of two farmers suspected of involvement in the drug operation quickly spotted 
the illegal crop."
