A German man has become the butt of internet jokes after a Google Street View camera snapped him apparently climbing into the boot of a car completely naked.
The baffling picture shows the nude man in the boot of a Mercedes which is parked on the driveway of a house in Mannheim, south-west Germany.
A dog appears to be lying lifeless on the driveway surrounded by the contents of the sports car's boot.
Bizarre: This unexplained image has amused and confused internet users
It is unknown whether the man is sporting a pair of skin-coloured shorts, as has been suggested by amused internet dwellers, but a number of other theories have been put forward too.
One Internet user told the CNET website he thought it was just 'an illusion' with the man wearing shorts and fixing the brake light on the Mercedes while the dog was just basking in sun.
The story behind the surreal situation is unknown and Google has removed the image from its Street View website, which only went live in Germany at the beginning of the month.
Caught out: The image was captured by a Google street view car
It is not the first time a Google Street View image has provoked debate.
In August a photo emerged of what appeared to be a dead schoolgirl laying on the side of the road in Worcester.
However, it turned out to be ten-year-old Azura Beebeejaun who was lying down playing dead with her friends.
