What do you mean by this?
I had a little look before. Google doesn't make passes over properties/land/areas as often as we think. They would have to be awfully lucky to have Google doing a pass between 10am & 11am on the 12th September. Plus, their level of detail is not so acute that it can see people generally - though it may see cars, but again not in great detail - due to the angle of the earth, angle of the sun, and other variables.
"This is one reason why you usually do not find any imagery younger than about 6 months in Google Earth and Maps. And why updates usually only happen about once every 30 days."
