The reason for the report was NOT to complain, but just to enlighten those that in the past had speculated whether the trolls were a reality or not. I'm not angry, since they won't find any problems with my home. Personally, I find it pathetic and am embarrassed for them if they live in the Villages and can't find anything better to do than tattletale on some that are not even close enough to be their neighbors. The home they appeared to be taking notes on, has some peculiar items in their yard, but I do not find it offensive or ugly. It hasn't lowered the home values in the neighborhood, and there are many other homes on our street with more lawn ornaments. Personally, I find them interesting. A home just two houses down recently sold for over $600K after being listed only one day. According to the deed restrictions, district one and two seem to be pretty open to personalizing lawns. Whether one likes it or not, as long as one follows the rules, no one can fault them.
There had been some discussion as to whether these lady trolls were real of just urban legend, so I my interest was piqued when I observed a golf cart stop in the road and one of the women writing on a clip board and pointing in several places on the property of the neighbor. Then they drove off, and I didn't bother watching anymore.
I follow the rules in most cases, but I have no problem with artistic diversity rather than military housing style of uniform appearance.
