I know they had the right to do that, but I just wanted them to move back to fremont...and quit screwing with my pretty sweet neighborhood.

It's still a great idea.

@10 sorry, I'm a straight gal (with an awesome boyfriend). and no, for whoever's about to ask, my boyfriend didn't help me with/give me the idea for that car.

@14 I still live there, maybe you moved? You used the past tense, so I don't know. anyway, as it happens, I'm divesting myself of the yard art, so if you'd like to help me dismantle that stuff and take it to the dump, you'll get your wish of the neighborhood being back to normal. The garage CDs are staying, though (and they're glued, not nailed).
