One house in my old neighborhood was really into antique and wester stuff. The put a nice antique sideboard in their yard with some plants in and around it. With the mock well, ruff hewn wood fences and stuff like that it looked nice.

Not according to the neighbors they complained and the code people called the sideboard a vehicle and said it had to be in a drive. The people poured a slab and did a real good job of hiding it and keeping the rustic look.

Still not good enough, they claimed it looked like an abandon vehicle. So they painted the wagon up real nice and period like and it still looked good, but lost some of the antique charm.

Still not good enough, they cited something about he vehicle/trailer being visible from the street. The house was on a corner lot so anywhere in their yard was visible from the street.

The homeowners gave up and moved the sideboard to their antique store (on one of the main streets in the neighborhood). And filled their flowerbeds with those wooden cutouts of old ladys bent over like they are working in the flower bed and showing their underwear. It was the first time I had seen those cut outs and I thought it was hilarious.
