Someone's about to get fired.
One can only hope that if this was intentionally done by an employee, they would be punished and possibly let go. This sort of thing is childish, unnecessary, and has no place in a professional organization. Quasi-related: http://jenmylo.com/2015/03/23/defending-drupal/
Just for fun speculation. What if someone realized that Google is scraping/using his data. Then he decided to put in a "honeytoken" to check this assumption and at the same time pull a prank on Google. Once he realized that his assumption was correct, he published the coordinates -- as a mini revenge. Of course this is just some idle speculation, but I have seen honeytoken entries in printed dictionaries for example.

Don't use OpenStreetMap they said, anyone can edit that and vandalised it they said, it will be full of errors and inaccuracies they said.
I checked the history of the place on OSM and I found nothing. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/33.514583/73.059222

I wonder which cultural oddities today will be commonly accepted 100 years from now, or whether the globalization will eventually homogenize such local customs, so instead of "memes" living locally for 100s of years they get global exposure and die out within a month.

But if that were the case, wouldn't they be pissing on Google's logo instead?

Fired? Really? Wow, I guess the Apple fantards have no sense of humour. Must come from having the 'genius' at the Apple store out-smug them!
EDIT: I cannot conceive a possible reason why this comment is down-voted. Penalizing well meaning and polite discourse is counter intuitive... in the universe I live.
