We live in Gilchrist and a neighbor told us that her salesman dropped by to say "hi!" and mentioned to her that she had several items in her planted areas that were prohibited.

Now this couple has a beautifully landscaped front and unless you walk to the door, the items would not be seen. They are tasteful and small.

He then went on to brag to her that he has reported several homes in Gilchrist for the same infractions. He told her that he actually drives around and take addresses to report.

He is now LIVING in Gilchrist and from what we hear he has had some very expensive and tasteful bronze statues reported and removed. One was a beautiful and very expensive bronze bench with a little boy and little girl sitting on it. It was placed under a palm in a lovely landscaped yard. In other yards he has also had bronze birds removed. (osprey, cranes etc.)

Certainly what is attractive to one person is not to another. But in the case of this guy, he is simply looking for things to report in a vengeful way.

It is interesting that the bright turquoise and bright pink homes with mushroom pads and gnomes are acceptable in the older areas, but subtle, and expensive bronze statuary is prohibited in our area.

This guy is on a power trip and must get great satisfaction out of exercising that power.
