Though we didn't know it, apparently the Google street team went by our house in October. Now our display is immortalized on street view, at least until they come by again in a year or so!
For our home, the StreetView images much have been captured on October 1st or 2nd a couple of years ago - The cemetery fence just started going up with no real prop in the yard yet. Too bad it wasn't a week later for us.
