We came back to our new home in Hadley when we first lived here part time to find all literally dozens of little "gookies and gee gaws and ceramic thingys " in the yard of a very near neighbor. I quickly phoned community standards and told them.
One of the reasons many of us chose the Villages is because of deed restrictions. I find that the anonymous reporting may be chicken to some but far easier for others. I don't see anything about someone seeing something in another neighborhood obviously not allowed and reporting it. That doesn't make my skin crawl at all.

Their neighbor couldn't have been all that dear, if you weren't able to resolve it between yourself and them and had to resort to outside help.
I smell a fable. Or a not-so-dear neighbor. Maybe one of those "bless your heart" kinds of neighbors.
